Wisconsin court sets up possible delay in absentee mailing

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The conservative-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court has ordered that no absentee ballots be mailed until it gives the go-ahead or makes any future ruling about who should be on the ballot.
The order Thursday came in a lawsuit filed by Green Party presidential candidate Howie Hawkins who asked the state’s highest court to take up his challenge of a Wisconsin Elections Commission decision keeping him off the ballot.
Rapper Kanye West, in a separate case, is also trying to get on the ballot after the commission rejected him.
Municipal election clerks face a Sept. 17 deadline to mail ballots.

Fuck the crooked state court, fuck the Green Party and fuck Kanye!
Mask up and vote early in person! The rethuglicans are doing everything to block absentee ballots!

And a lot of ballots have already been printed. I don’t know what the cost will be if they have to print new ballots just to add one or both of those dopes on there.
UGH. I’ve been so looking forward to receiving my ballot. 
after a court case against the Green Party ticket because they swapped out candidates after the filing deadline -

Green Party presidential candidate Howie Hawkins will remain on the Pennsylvania ballot, but his running mate Angela Walker must be removed, a state judge ruled late Wednesday. Commonwealth Court Judge J. Andrew Crompton delivered that split verdict in a legal challenge with close connections to the state Democratic Party. The challenge focused on problems with paperwork.
The Green Party on Aug. 3 filed nominating petitions for two candidates from Pennsylvania — Elizabeth Faye Scroggin for president and Neal Taylor Gale for vice president — but swapped them out a week later for Hawkins, a retired Teamster from New York, and Walker, a labor activist who drives a dump truck in South Carolina.
The party didn’t file a candidate affidavit for Gale as required by state law. Scroggin faxed her affidavit to the Pennsylvania Department of State by the deadline, but there was a delay in printing it. Larry Otter, an attorney for the Green Party, said the Democratic players in the legal case filed an appeal to the state Supreme Court on Thursday. Andrea Merida, a Hawkins campaign spokesperson, said it’s “clear that the Democrats are not interested in stating their case to the voters; instead they engage in party suppression, which is voter suppression, to get an edge.”
The challenge was filed by Pittsburgh attorney Clifford Levine, who has done legal work for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. Levine’s clients are Paul Stefano, chair of the Lawrence County Democratic Party, and Tony Thomas, who ran as a Democrat for City Council in Wilkes-Barre last year. Asked if the state Democratic Party was backing the challenge, Levine this week said “They’re aware of it." The state Democratic Party did not respond to requests for comment.

As a note - in 2016, Hillary lost by about 44K votes and Stein got 49K votes (which was twice as much as she got in 2012 when she ran).
with no clear agenda (and perhaps without their Russian masters to boot, who have bigger fish to fry), so they are getting sloppy about how they put their ticket together.
All I care about at this point is to get my ballot and vote straight D (although nowadays we have to do that individually and no longer have a "straight ticket" option). 
ETA - Just realized another reason for their dysfunction - many of their previous supporters have broken off to create yet another fantasy party - this time, the "People's Party". It's populated by the same old has-beens and some newly indoctrinated.
