Elections commission votes to keep Kennedy on Wisconsin’s presidential ballot

presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will stay on the Wisconsin ballot in November, the Wisconsin Elections Commission decided Tuesday, despite Kennedy’s last-minute request to be removed.

Elections commission Chair Ann Jacobs, one of three Democratic appointees to the evenly divided commission, argued that state law prevents removing a candidate for office who has met the requirements.

“If you file nomination [papers] and qualify, you may not decline the nomination, and the name of that person shall appear upon the ballot, except in the case of the death of the person,” Jacobs said, arguing against taking Kennedy off the ballot.

The 5-1 vote that included Kennedy on the ballot followed a motion by one of the three Republican commissioners, Don Millis, that excluded Kennedy from a list of approved independent tickets. The Millis proposal failed on a 3-3 tie vote with only Republicans voting in favor.

Yep, but also that they leave no rock unturned when it comes to cheating the system.

Oh yeah. This really does expose another cheat tactic that people have complained about for quite awhile.

Voting in America makes me understand what life was like in Uganda in the 1970’s.

I was probably too young and naive to understand/remember that part, but it’s good, I like it.
