Long before you mark your ballot, Democrats are scheming to limit your candidate choices by booting competitors off the ballot.
That is what Democrats are trying to do to presidential candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a former Democrat, Jill Stein of the Green Party, and Cornel West, a former Green Party candidate. All are collecting signatures and trying to get on the presidential ballot in each state; Democrats are fighting them on technicalities.
After all, they can’t let voters decide; these candidates are likely to pull votes away from the Democrat ticket.
Instead of campaigning in front of voters, Kennedy and West spend a lot of time and money traveling to courthouses around the country defending against an onslaught of legal cases that could prevent voters from ever having them as a ballot choice.
“They’re suing me all over the country. They’re trying to keep me off the ballot,” Kennedy said in a social media post Tuesday, while standing in front of a courthouse in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Kennedy left the campaign trail for a court hearing challenging his spot on the ballot, but his plane was delayed and he arrived two hours late. Commonwealth Court Judge Lori Dumas would not allow him to testify.
My father and my uncle were members of a Democratic Party that was at the forefront of making sure that every American could vote for the candidate they wanted to.
