Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is currently celebrating being allowed to remain on the ballot in her home state of Wisconsin; here is everywhere else her name is set to appear.
Stein will be on the ballot in Arizona, California, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington and West Virginia, according to Ballotpedia’s most-recent update.
Although Stein will likely appear on Wisconsin’s ballot, the deadline for filing third-party candidates in the state is September 3, so she is not yet on this list.
On Monday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court reject an attempt by Democratic National Committee (DNC) official David Strange to knock Stein off the state’s ballot this year.
Strange said that the Green Party should not be allowed to nominate presidential electors in Wisconsin because it does not have any state officeholders or legislative candidates to nominate these presidential electors. However, the court ruled that “the petitioner is not entitled to the relief he seeks.”
Michael White, co-chair of the Wisconsin Green Party, said the complaint was a “mark of fear by the Democratic Party.”
Adrienne Watson, Democratic National Committee spokesperson, has reiterated the belief that the Green Party should not be on the ballot to The Associated Press.
After the win, Stein wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Big win against the anti-Democratic Party’s war on democracy and voter choice! Wisconsin voters still have an anti-genocide, pro-worker, climate action choice this year!”
Stein previously ran as the Green Party’s candidate for president in 2012 and 2016, with some blaming her for Hillary Clinton losing to Trump in the latter election; the Green Party candidate received over 31,000 votes in Wisconsin, and Trump won the state by just under 23,000 votes.
In her 2017 book What Happened, Clinton wrote: “So in each state, there were more than enough Stein voters to swing the result.”
Nationally, Stein received 1 percent of the vote in 2016, just under 1.5 million votes.
In the 2020 election between Trump and Joe Biden, the Green Party’s candidate Howie Hawkins did not appear on the ballot.
Newsweek has contacted Stein’s team via email for any further comment.
The Democratic Party has gone through considerable legal efforts to challenge third parties from appearing on ballots.
Before independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump, Democratic-funded lawsuits had successfully removed him from the ballot in New York, and had tried and failed to remove him in North Carolina and New Jersey.
