Good. One less State allowing her betrayal of America.

For those that don’t understand how the Electoral College + FPTP voting works, voting for her means helping donald become president due to the spoiler effect.
Anyone who votes for her is a fucking moron who is wilfully ignoring the reality of how FPTP voting works.
But they should still have that right. It's undemocratic to say otherwise. Saying they shouldn't be allowed to run just because you don't like the effect that voting for them might have is the mark of autocracy.
Every vote for Harris is stealing a vote from third-party candidates who represent real change. By sidelining those voices, you’re indirectly helping Trump win!
This idiotic "point" will always fall flat. Your third party spoilers will get less than 3% combined nationwide. And your vote will be worthless unless you're trying to help Trump.
Good, if your campaign isn't competent enough to even file the right bureaucratic papers you proooobably don't have anything together enough to run a country
In fairness to the Greens, they actually had the right paperwork prepared and ready to file, and it was refused with the state officials saying to file incorrect paperwork instead.
I feel this is bad in terms of (non-legal) precedent - the GOP might be able to use a similar strategy to keep the Dems off the ballot in the future in any battleground states where they control both the governorship and the state legislature.
E.g.
Dems: Here's the correct paperwork. Put us on the ballot and see you on election day.
State officials (GOP affiliated): No, wrong paperwork. Fill this out.
Dems: You sure? We think this is right.
State officials: Yep, you gotta do this one or no election for you.
Dems: Fine.
National GOP: They filled the paperwork wrong. Keep them off the ballot.
Dems: Nope, we were told do this by the State.
State officials (GOP affiliated): Sorry, we made a mistake. You're off the ballot.
Dems: Courts?
Courts: Sorry, but you're still off the ballot even though it's not your fault.
Her campaign filed the correct forms, the elections official lied and gave them the wrong forms to resubmit. The DNC will lie and cheat if they feel threatened
No, they filed the wrong forms because they didn’t do any due diligence on what a clerk mistakenly sent them. The whole SCOTUS case was because they were saying that just because they were idiots, it shouldn’t stop the signatures from still counting. However there is well established precedent on the similar cases that puts the onus on the people filing paperwork with the government.
You are absolutely right here and I appreciate you trying to inform people. Unfortunately this crowd is mostly anti-green-party to the point that it blinds them from being reasonable on the subject.
It's odd because if I am understanding correctly the unsigned order does not explain why.
Which means no precedent is set.
But on the flip side, I would have liked to know if the SC declined to hear it because they thought it should be left to the State, it was undue federal interference if they overruled a state supreme court on a matter of State law, or there was some federal law that barred the suit, etc.
Anyways, this does raise the following contradiction - if both Stein and the SC are in the GOP's pocket, how come the SC didn't help the GOP by ordering Stein back on the ballot?
