    Votes cast in Ohio for Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein will not count because the party nominated her running mate after a state administrative deadline, according to state election officials. [1]

    Sounds like the only “accusations” should be leveled at Stein’s campaign which, yet again, couldn’t muster the basic competency to comply with state election laws and regulations… despite having 4 whole years to prepare. It’s almost like the Greens aren’t a serious political party!

      • They seem to run their local elections much better.

        Hmm. Considering that a major sticking point from AOC and Ralph Nader on the Green Party is that they aren’t doing enough for local elections, I find this interesting.

        Not disputing your statement, just curious regarding specific examples where the Green Party did run in a local election, which you would have considered to have run better.

        And as much baggage as Jill has, they need to pick a different candidate for the next run. I actually like her, but this should be her last run.

        Ah, interesting. I think this provides an adequate explanation for certain decisions that have been questioned elsewhere.

        But yeah you’re right - I’m not sure who else has tried to run for President after having three failures on their backs. A lot of folks (such as John Kerry or John McCain or Al Gore) will even stop with just one.
