Paul Ryan challenger stays on ballot

MADISON — The state elections agency on Friday unanimously allowed a Republican challenger to House Speaker Paul Ryan to stay on the ballot for the August primary election.

The Government Accountability Board met Friday to consider the challenge to Paul Nehlen along with challenges targeting nine other candidates across the state.

Nehlen’s nomination papers were challenged by a conservative activist who said Nehlen should not be allowed on the Aug. 9 primary ballot for the 1st Congressional District race because he listed an incorrect address on his filing papers. The 1st District includes Racine County.

Orville Seymer argued the longshot challenger to Ryan should not be on the ballot because Nehlen had incorrect home and voting addresses on his declaration of candidacy and nomination papers.

On one form, Nehlen listed his home address as Country Drive, instead of Countryside Drive. And on two forms, he incorrectly said he voted in the City of Delavan, when he actually votes in the Town of Delavan in Walworth County.

It’s a long shot, but it would be so sweet to see Paul Rino Cantored.

Are we a bit worried Mr. Ryan? Seems like it. Gotta send one of your people out to try and get Paul Nehlen off the ballot and it didn’t work.

Are the other 8 candidates paid for by Ryan’s cabal? (i.e., to dilute the vote)

RINO Ryan is grasping at straws. A message to Ryan

RYAN YOU BETTER PLAY BALL, OR WE'RE GOING TO PUT YOU ON THE BENCH JUST LIKE WE DID TO CANTOR!

I hope he runs in the general election if he loses the primary. I would prefer Ryan leave one way or the other.

We may be even better off for Ryan to lose to a demo than be speaker.

Worth a try but...

The ONLY way to beat Ryan and other top RINOs is with a conservative in the general election.

Yes, it means a Dem wins but for the most powerful RINOs it’s a good trade.

Too late. It's been watered down like speakeasy liquor thanks to the Quisling Republicans in DC. I mean:

Conservative?

Conservative?

Conservative?

Conservative?

“Nehlen’s nomination papers were challenged by a CORPORATE LIBERAL activist.”

Are there 8 other challengers in the Paul Ryan primary? That does should like a GOPe move.

If they had ACTED as conservative as they claim to be, there would NOT be a Trump.

I would suspect they never were conservatives to begin with.

After all, they ARE politicians...

Not a one in the bunch.

They speak conservative only before an election. People not paying attention leading up to election time are always duped by these charlatans. They are all actors playing a role.

Time for true believers in the greatness of this nation to take control and fix things.

A “conservative activist”.....ha ha ha! No conservative would support Paul Ryan at this point!!!

“Conservative” has become the most misused political word since “moderate”.
