    And it seems like their ballot-access problem in Wisconsin is directly related to that.

    In the complaint, Strange writes that Wisconsin law requires the people nominating electors to be the political party’s state legislative candidates or legislators of the party. There are no Green Party legislators in Wisconsin.

    “The August 13, 2024 primary was the last opportunity for [Wisconsin Green Party] to nominate a candidate for Wisconsin Senate or Assembly before the 2024 general election. But, WGP failed to nominate any candidates for Wisconsin Senate or Assembly, and a sufficient number of electors did not nominate a candidate by writing in any WGP candidate for Wisconsin Senate or Assembly,” Strange wrote in the complaint.

    If they were a real party, they might have actually tried to run someone for the Senate or Assembly. There’s got to be some solidly blue district with a shitty centrist they could have actually challenged from the left.
