re: Green Party removed from WI and PA ballots

WI and PA Supreme Courts ruled that Green Party didn't follow the guidelines for their applications, so they were removed from the ballots.

quote:As an aside, my last two posts come from the National Review.
a majority of the Wisconsin supreme court declined to rule on the merits the Wisconsin Election Commission’s decision to deny ballot access, but the majority concluded it was too late to reprint the ballots without causing election chaos.
“Even if we would ultimately determine that the petitioners’ claims are meritorious,” the majority ruled, “given their delay in asserting their rights, we would be unable to provide meaningful relief without completely upsetting the election.”

If you go back and look at instances of voter fraud, check out what happens to the green party. Typically, their votes sky rocket in close districts taking votes away from the Republican candidate. The left doesnt steal them, they just move them to a party that doesnt do anything.
I am ok with this.

Could either of these go to the Supreme Court.
I'm talking very high level here but so much shite has been flung in regards to covid that these specific issues in both states should be challenged.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission had split 3–3 along partisan lines on the matter of denying ballot access to the Green Party because of a technicality — two different addresses were given for the party’s vice presidential nominee, who moved during the pandemic.
On Thursday, Pennsylvania’s supreme court disqualified the Green Party over another technicality — that state filing papers were not submitted in person
Both of these are absurd. Clearly the Green Party rep didn't want to catch COVID by submitting the paperwork in person.

Doubtful either of these reaches Supreme Court. Post election though, you can bet many cases end up at SCOTUS.

How USSC takes up cases in October this seems like something that should be expedited?
If they don't take this up but take up other cases affecting the election seems like a double standard?
Not that I think the court is actually principled or non partisan but it would just reaffirm my thoughts.

I don’t understand why that’s important or relevant, but a simple email could have cleared that up.

dimocratix demand universal mail-in voting because it’s simply too dangerous during a pandemic for voters to make it to the polls, but they demand the Green Party take deadly chances to file in person.

To protect democracy.

Ironically they are fine with having different signatures on ballots

I case anyone is wondering about 2016 numbers:
PA: Green Party got 50,000 votes (Trumps margin of victory was 44,000 votes) - this could have conceivably tipped the state to Hillary
WI: Green Party got 31,000 votes (Trumps margin of victory was 23,000 votes) - this could have conceivably tipped the state to Hillary.

If you really want to trigger some libs, don’t tell them you’re voting for Trump, tell them you’re voting 3rd party or write-in. It sends their panties straight up their arse.
