Cornel West Wins Wisconsin Ballot Challenge

On August 27, the Wisconsin Elections Commission voted 5-1 to reject a Democratic Party challenge to the ballot listing of Cornel West.  The challengers had said there was a fatal flaw in the notarization of the vice-presidential candidate’s declaration of candidacy.  She had signed in the wrong line.  However a revised declaration had been promptly filed to replace the first one.  The challengers said the revision was not stapled to the first one and therefore it was fatally flawed, but the Commission did not feel that was reason to keep the ticket off the ballot.

  1. Complaining about staples is unhinged. That 1 commission member should be ashamed.

  2. Complying with all the rules and regulations, jumping through hoops, crossing ts and dotting is is an intelligence test.
