    The Green Party, 2020 election. State supreme Court removed them from the presidential election ballot for errors in paperwork that… Are honestly entirely bureaucratic nightmare to read.

    Not the first or last time there have been state based hearings in court to remove candidates especially Green Party. States decide their own ballots all the time. Heck apparently now is a great time to add your name to a federal election ballot since you can’t be removed by the state.

    We should make the ballot 12 pages long with every single vague or minor party enforcing they can’t have their name removed running for any federal position.

      Nah, I’ll just write it in. My wife still likes me, so maybe I can get two votes.

        Hey I’m actually trying to have the conversation you apparently wanted. I get you are, I guess, done with that notion.
        So I’m just gonna point out this waste of a comment. You’d be better off just ignoring the people who try to legitimately add rather than just adding a wasted joke and delegitimizing your position further.

          It’s literally moot at this point. Internet lawyers arguing constitutional law when SCOTUS has made a (unanimous decision) on the matter is just people blowing off steam.

          If you agree with the decision (I do), trying to change someone’s mind (who doesn’t) is probably not going to happen.

          You’ve been reasoned in your disagreement. I appreciate that.
