For right now, neither rapper and producer Kanye West nor Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins will appear on the November 3 ballot for president in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission made the decision Thursday night in a meeting that spanned more than five hours. Kanye West and Howie Hawkins’ running mate Angela Walker are both African American. Republican election commissioner Robert Spindell accused the Democratic Party of Wisconsin of suppressing the Black vote by trying to keep West and Walker off the ballot.

Hope it holds. We can't let a third party fuck this up again.

4. So far it doesn't look like a third party will be on any of the major swing states.

Can anybody correct me on that if I'm wrong.

2. Good no place for Russian hackers to shift Biden votes unless directly to Trump.

Should make it easier to catch hacks.

3. Seems Ye's exclusion is clear cut.

Filed too late. I guess that is what happens when one decides to run for Prez at the last minute.

Dunno about the Green Party situation - article says it's probably going to end up in court.

But the R's saying the D's are suppressing the black vote? If that's their idea of stand up comedy ... well it's a crappy joke.

5. Yeah I think the signatures in question were done without the candidate's current address.

The law seems pretty clear about how that works -that the current address must be on the forms, so the signatures really shouldn't count. Hope the courts agree!
