More bullshit from the DNC. Luckily the judge appears to have dismissed the complaint, which means the Greens are still on the ballot in Wisconsin.

The DNC has subsequently filed a lawsuit in response. The author of the complaint, David Strange, says the Greens should not be on the ballot because

the Green Party can't nominate presidential electors in Wisconsin because no one in the party is a state officer, defined as legislators, judges and others. Without any presidential electors, the party can't have a presidential candidate on the ballot

All this pretty rich coming from the party that is allegedly out to "save democracy".

Yes, God forbid that people vote for parties that actually represent their values rather than always picking the lesser of two evils

Jill Stein is a Russian asset

Based on what evidence? That claim was just an attempt to smear her campaign on social media.

The only evidence I ever see presented is a photo of them sitting at the same table. By that metric, Obama and both Clintons are a Russian assets, too.
