On June 19, the North Carolina State Board of Elections voted 3-2 to keep the Green Party on the ballot for 2026 and 2028. The law says a party retains its qualified status “if the group of voters had a candidate nominated by that group on the general election ballot of at least 70% of the states in the prior Presidential election.”
Jill Stein was the nominee of the Green Party in 2024, and she appeared on the ballot in 38 states. The two Democrats on the Board voted against the Green Party because in seven of the states her label was not “Green Party”. In those seven states, either the Green Party has a different name in that state, or else her label was “independent.” The three Republicans on the Board voted that the Green Party complies with the law. See this story.
Stein had “independent” or “by petition” in Alabama, Idaho, Nebraska, and Tennessee. In Alaska, she was the nominee of the Aurora Party; in Kentucky, the Kentucky Party; and in West Virginia, the Mountain Party. Democrats acknowledged that the Green Independent Party in Maine, the Rainbow-Green Party in Massachusetts, and the Pacific Green Party in Oregon were affiliates of the national Green Party.
The story also says that the Constitution, We the People, Justice for All, and No Labels Party went off the ballot. That was no surprise because none of them had a presidential nominee who was on the ballot in more than eighteen states, and furthermore none of them polled as much as 2% of the North Carolina vote for either President or Governor.
The Dems were clearly desperate to find any bogus reason to justify their no votes. They should change their party name to the Undemocratic Party.
And yet you continue to vote for them.
Richard Winger censored my comment where I correctly called Joshua H. a fucking tard.
Richard is getting to be as bad as George Phillies.
I don’t think he’s anywhere close to as bad as Phillies. Phillies censored my comments for no reason at all. I wasn’t even impolite slightly. When I asked him to explain why, he censored that too and banned me.
I agree nothing should be censored, and hopefully Richard continues to keep it to a minimum or better yet doesn’t do it at all anymore.
As for Joshua, I don’t know why Bob thinks he votes for Democrats. I think he has pretty consistently said he votes for Greens. They both suck, and are both just fronts for our communist, Satanist, jihadist, globalist, etc enemies, but I see no reason to not believe he votes for Greens and not Democrats.
Just because they ultimately serve the same masters even if they don’t realize it doesn’t mean they like each other. They generally don’t.
