Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein welcomed the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s rejection of a lawsuit seeking to remove her from the state’s ballot.
“A huge victory against the anti-Democratic Party’s war on democracy and voter choice!” Stein wrote. “Wisconsin voters have an anti-genocide, pro-worker, climate action choice again this year!”
On Wednesday, the state Supreme Court ruled that the lawsuit filed by David Strange, deputy operations director for the Democratic National Committee in Wisconsin, has no legal basis.
“The Court has reviewed the materials filed in this case. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the motion for leave to commence an original action is denied. We determine that the Petitioner [Strange] is not entitled to the relief sought; and, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all other pending motions are dismissed as moot.
