MADISON, WI (WSAU) – The Wisconsin Supreme Court has made a decision on whether or not to hear legal arguments in a challenge to Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein from the state’s ballot.

According to Scott Baur of the Associated Press, the Supreme Court rejected the DNC’s lawsuit, filed last week by David Strange, deputy commissioner of operations, without explanation, saying in an unsigned order, “We conclude that plaintiff is not entitled to the relief he seeks.”

Strange argued in his lawsuit that the Green Party was not entitled to nominate electors in Wisconsin because it had neither state legislative candidates nor state officials qualified to do so.

Wisconsin Green Party co-chair Michael White praised the court’s decision to dismiss the lawsuit and called Strange’s attempt to remove Stein a “sign of fear on the part of the Democratic Party” in a statement to AP.

Stein was last on the ballot in Wisconsin in 2016, when she received just over 31,000 votes, surpassing Trump’s lead of nearly 23,000 votes. This election cycle, the latest polling data from Rasmussen shows Harris and Trump separated by just one percentage point in Wisconsin, while Navigator Research found in its latest poll that the two candidates are currently tied in the Badger State, with former independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. and Stein combining for 8% of the vote.
