Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court affirmed the lower Commonwealth Court decision in a one-page order, saying it agreed with Schmidt’s office that West failed to file the required affidavits for 14 of West’s 19 presidential electors by the Aug. 1 deadline.
These third parties are so bad at filing paperwork it amazes me that anyone thinks they could lead a country…
Its almost like they don’t want or plan on actually winning, only sowing chaos
This guy is not serious, and should be ignored. He’s only on the ballot in 15 states. Among other flaws, like taking money from Harlan Crow.
By August, the campaign reported being $17,000 in debt. The campaign was aided by Republican-aligned groups, donors, and lawyers, to get on the ballot in several states including Michigan,[56] Georgia,[57] Virginia, Nebraska, Maine, North Carolina,[58] Arizona[59] and Wisconsin.[59][60] Although West stopped actively campaigning, registered Republicans have signed up to be electors for West in swing states.[11] His campaign had only spent $2,400 on signature gathering between January and June of 2024.

If Republican big wigs are showering you with money to do something, save your soul and don’t fucking do it.
So disappointed in him to. He was a huge supporter of Bernie Sanders then goes and does this why?
I’d take the cash. And since many here think they are paying me anyway, they should actually pay me! Bring it!!!
I definitely don’t take him serious and I won’t be voting for him.
EDIT: Downvotes for me NOT voting for him? So you guys want me to vote for him?! lmao

If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.
they’re trying to prevent you from voting.
Every vote for Harris is stealing a vote from third-party candidates who represent real change. By sidelining those voices, you’re indirectly helping Trump win!
Why do you think they do disenfranchisement?
We are left with the same two parties that declare “this time we are really going to help the people” and two armies of morons convinced their person is really going to do it! It is literally the same BS every election cycle.
And morons who think voting for a third party presidential candidate means anything instead of working to elect down ballot candidates who actually could affect meaningful change.

Against community rules to call me names. I’m sure you can make your point without reverting to name-calling. Thanks!

Yep!
The way third parties are being shut out this election cycle really highlights how undemocratic the US actually is. Democrats are shutting out their spoilers, Republicans are shutting out their spoilers, you are not allowed to vote for anyone but the two ruling parties.
This is patently false. Why are you lying?
No one should vote for these green or third party candidates because they are not serious or legitimate.
They disappear after every election and do nothing for downballot candidates.theyre also paid by foreign actors.
Look at the Domain they’re posting from it will explain a lot.

In YOUR opinion. But I, and many others, do and will vote third party. No matter how mad you are.
Having said that, I wouldn’t vote for West.
Yeah, they’re totally being shut out by… checks notes not filing their paperwork on time.
If they filed the paperwork properly and on time they wouldn’t be able to complain about being shut out… :)
This clearly wasn’t a problem before this year. The parties just did what they usually do, but now unknown rules that were never enforced before are suddenly a problem. Oh and the rules are different in every single state. They’d need to hire a legal team to get nationwide ballot access.
Tedious libshit - oh we’d love to have a democratic process, but you didn’t jump through all the procedural hoops in exactly the right way (rules we made up and were never voted on lol). Sure they rules are different in every single state and are selectively enforced, but rules are rules!
If you want to win the game you gotta play by the rules.
If you want to kick the table over then get on with it.
The rules are made up and the game doesn’t matter. Also the rules are hidden behind layers of procedural nonsense and you only find out you broke the rules after the fact.
It shouldn’t require hiring a legal team to get ballot access. My only point is this isn’t a democratic process.
I don’t disagree that it’s not democratic and full of bullshit rules. But don’t complain you can’t win a shitty game if you don’t play by its rules.
And if you want a different game you need to kick the table over.
Sure, but let’s remember what I actually said: what’s happening highlights the undemocratic nature of US elections.
How we respond to that is important, but it doesn’t change my original point!
There are far, far better examples of the undemocratic nature of US elections than having deadlines for filing paperwork.
And if a party can’t even get paperwork filed on time, how are they going to do anything more significant?
also, the democrats literally don’t have to jump through these hoops, so tehy can spend their time and money making sure others don’t get on the ballot.
Absolutely agree. Even me posting about third parties here has brought more hate and mockery than I’ve ever experienced, even on Reddit! People can be toxic. lol
But all the backlash has only made me more determined to keep posting news about third parties!
I believe in people having options and diversity in political opinions. :)
Yeah, the problem isn’t the articles you post, those are fine. Trying to misdirect onto that is a strawman. People don’t like you due to how you engage in comment sections with the people that want to talk about those articles.
Even if those options do nothing but help elect trump.
Be honest. You’re really just trying to get trump elected not 3rd party candidates cuz u know 3rd party candidates can’t get to 270
Be honest. You’re really just trying to get trump elected by making everyone doubt everyone elses intentions. You are just trying to sow discontent and confusion.
That makes no sense
Makes exactly the same amount of sense as the thing I was accused of. What part confuses you?
No, it doesn’t. Just repeating a statement, slightly modified, doesn’t mean it makes sense.
I can’t help you understand it. Good luck!
