Donald Trump isn't the only candidate the Democrats are trying to keep off the ballots. Minnesota Democrat US Representative Dean Phillips was being denied a spot on the Wisconsin primary ballot, until the Wisconsin Supreme Court ordered election officials to include him.
"MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Supreme Court ordered state elections officials Friday to include U.S. Rep Dean Phillips on the state’s Democratic presidential primary ballot, finding that Democrats on a bipartisan presidential selection committee who left him off the ballot without a discussion should have at least talked about him.
The unanimous ruling means President Joe Biden will have Phillips as a challenger on the April 2 ballot.
“Today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck a blow against the anti-democratic attempts by Biden allies to unlawfully keep Congressman Dean Phillips off the ballot,” Phillips campaign officials said in a statement. “Voters in Wisconsin will now have the opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice.”
The Biden campaign didn’t immediately respond to a message."
