    Sorry, if you can’t follow the rules, you can’t play the game. No ability to field electors, no ability to offer a candidate. Bet all the others fail as well, and we don’t have any Russian aided spoilers helping Comrade Trump.

      Jill Stein isn’t paid by any russians, and she’s not helping Trump. She’s running her own campaign.

        She runs in the same circles as the rest of the people financed by Russia.

          Doesn’t mean there’s proof that she is bought and paid for by the russians. In fact, Stein “attended at her own expense to spread a message of peace and diplomacy” and gave a speech in Moscow “in which she criticized the excessive militarism of both Vladimir Putin and U.S. leaders.”

          They added: "The Senate Intelligence Committee later investigated the trip and found no wrongdoing whatsoever. "

          So you are entitled to your beliefs, as am I. And I don’t believe she is a russian asset. And I am voting for her. Thank you.

            According to her official campaign statement. Regardless, someone can work with someone and benefit from funneled votes without requiring to be paid.

            She also did not cooperate with the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation.

            Everyone is, of course, free to vote for whomever they wish. But they do deserve the facts.

      State law requires that those who nominate electors in October be state officers, which includes members of the Legislature, judges and others. They could also be candidates for the Legislature.

      The Green Party does not have anyone who qualifies to be a nominator, and therefore can’t legally name a slate of presidential electors as required by law, the complaint alleges.

      Sucks to suck. Maybe do your homework next time you attempt to help a man baby get elected again.

        Well I guess she DID follow the rules because they have decided to keep her on the ballot after all. They denied the Democrats demands: https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-jill-stein-harris-trump-lawsuit-1c69023c94ac0c3fcf4c23b361b9159a

          Dismissed on a technicality:

          The election commission’s attorney, Angela O’Brien Sharpe, wrote to Strange on Friday saying she had dismissed the complaint because it names commissioners as respondents and they can’t ethically decide a matter brought against them.

          The courts will decide otherwise because the state law is quite clear.

            Good clarification. As of right now she IS on the ballot. But this may change. So you are correct.
