In a blow to the Democratic Party’s plan to politically whack the competition through cynical lawfare, the Green Party’s presidential ticket will remain on swing state Wisconsin’s general election ballot.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court, which holds a 4-3 liberal majority, on Monday rejected a Democratic National Committee operative’s petition asking the court to take original jurisdiction in the case.
‘War on Democracy’
As The Federalist reported late last week, Doug Strange, the DNC’s deputy operations director in Wisconsin, sought a court ruling on his move to drive Jill Stein and her running mate, Butch Ware, off of the Badger State’s November ballot. He claimed that the Green Party’s candidates were disqualified from Wisconsin’s presidential election because there are no Green Party members represented in state offices or in the legislature. So they have no one to nominate presidential electors.
The Supreme Court denied the petition without comment.
“We determine that the petitioner is not entitled to the relief he seeks; and, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all other pending motions are denied as moot,” the unsigned order states.
The Green Party of Wisconsin on Monday had filed a motion to dismiss.
Stein was jubilant in victory.
“Big win against the anti-Democratic Party’s war on democracy and voter choice! Wisconsin voters still have an anti-genocide, pro-worker, climate action choice this year!” the leftist tweeted following the release of the court’s order.
