An imminent Wisconsin Supreme Court decision on whether the Green Party presidential ticket has qualified to appear on the state ballot has upended election preparations and raised the prospect of a last-minute addition that could benefit President Trump in a state he won by a hair in 2016.
The pending court case comes after the Wisconsin Elections Commission declined on Aug. 20 to put presidential contender Howie Hawkins and his Green Party running mate, Angela Walker, on the Nov. 3 ballot because their signature petitions featured two different addresses for Walker. State election officials argued against letting the ticket on the ballot, saying the campaign failed to meet the requirements.

(44,973 posts)While they are in holding, the ballots are not being mailed out. They have a deadline of September 17th to mail the ballots out. If they need to re-print the ballots there is no way they make the deadline.
And then there is also West who is suing to get on the ballot.
This is going to prevent of people getting their absentee ballots on-time.

(490 posts)I think Wisconsin is now safe Trump; not because he has a majority of supporters there, but because it is a corrupt conservative mafia state. Write it off and focus elsewhere - polls are meaningless when you have swindlers making the laws.
