Some desperate Republicans are now trying to confuse voters.

Scrambling for ways to hold on to power through November’s midterm cycle, it seems Republicans are opting to back phony Green Party candidates in hopes of confusing voters.

After all, in a close contest a Green Party candidate siphoning away a few thousands votes from Democrats could mean the difference between victory and defeat.

That strange scenario is currently playing out both in a New York House race and the Montana Senate race, where local Green Party candidates have been found out to be GOP operatives.

The the latest instance involves incumbent Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY). It turns out the one-time Green Party candidate Michael Zack, who abruptly dropped out this month after questions were raised about his background, used to intern in Collins’ office.

5. "piss away votes" --- That's exactly right. But people like Sarandon don't care.

6. Nothing new here; republican'ts have long supported the Green Party to siphon votes from Democrats.

Any Democrat suckered into voting for a Green candidate is simply helping the republican'ts.

Green voters certainly helped get TraitorTrump elected.
