'We got screwed': Libs cheer as Wisconsin Supreme Court rules Green Party candidate can't be on the Nov. ballot

The Wisconsin Supreme Court handed Dems a HUGE victory on Monday, ruling that the Green Party will not be on the ballot this November:

BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court keeps the Green Party ticket off of Wisconsin's ballot.

Conservative Justice Brian Hagedorn joins the court's three liberals to form a majority.

This means clerks do not have to reprint ballots and can now mail them.

The vote was 4-3 with conservative Justice Hagedorn voting with the liberals on the court:

Justice Hagedorn is emerging as the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s John Roberts—very conservative, but not a total nihilist. By voting with the liberals 4–3 to keep the Green Party off the ballot, he just saved Wisconsin from a complete election meltdown. https://t.co/0RcT1yUfcF

The case had delayed the mailing of absentee ballots:

The Green Party’s reaction? “We got screwed”:

If you recall 2016, the Green Party was seen as a spoiler to Hillary’s coronation:

Hallelujah!!!

Best news of the day, by a mile.

Absentee ballots in Wisconsin can be mailed as scheduled, now.

Plus there will be no Green Party spoiler on the ballot, so the choice will be crystal clear :

Fascism or democracy, Trump or Biden. https://t.co/nxAXPb6hKa

Funny enough, the exact opposite thing is happening in Pennsylvania with Dems trying to keep the Green Party off the ballot in the Keystone State as well:

You can't make this up: Wisconsin Democrats just justified blocking the Green Party from the ballot by saying that allowing them on would delay printing & mailing. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Democrats are delaying printing & mailing in order to block the Green Party from the ballot.

Dems are all for helping people vote, as long as it’s for THEIR guy.
