On October 22, U.S. District Court Judge Michael Watson held a hearing in Stein v LaRose. At the conclusion, he stated from the bench that he believes the issue belongs in state court, and said Stein should have gone to the State Supreme Court. The issue is whether votes for Stein should be counted. She is on the ballot but the Secretary of State says her votes won’t be counted because someone not officially part of the Stein campaign filed a withdrawal of the vice-presidential nominee.
On October 21, J.D. Vance mentioned Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and also mentioned Jill Stein, while speaking in Wisconsin. See this story. He did not offer any criticism of Democratic efforts to remove Stein from the ballot. He did criticize Democrats for fighting to keep Kennedy on the ballot, something Democrats did in only three states (Wisconsin, Michigan, and North Carolina).
He also said that Kennedy would get more votes than Stein, and said Democrats are forcing Kennedy to be a “spoiler”.
Here is the story from the Associated Press. Thanks to Darryl W. Perry for clueing us in!
At the May 21, 2024 Georgia primaries for Congress, the Democratic race for U.S. House, Eleventh District, was won by Katy L. Stamper, even though her views on immigration are more conservative than even the Republican incumbent in the district. Georgia has open primaries.
Now, the Democratic Party is so opposed to the views of Stamper that it has recruited and endorsed a write-in candidate for that same seat. See this story.
On October 21, Jill Stein filed this reply brief in Stein v LaRose, s.d., 2:24cv-04042. This is the case over whether votes for Jill Stein should be counted. The brief is fierce.
