Green Party’s Jill Stein nixed for Georgia’s presidential ballot
5:05 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2016

Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein won’t be on Georgia’s presidential ballot this November after the state said the party had too few verified signatures on its petition.

The news comes a month after the Green Party submitted what it said was more than 1,600 pages of signatures by the state’s July 12 deadline. Party officials had not been sure of the number of signatures, but they estimated it had been more than 10,000.

One less place for her to engage in her Putin sponsored political rat f##k of the Democratic party.

3. They didn't bother to even count/verify their own petition?

Isn't a group supposed to go through and get rid of duplicates, the I.P. Freely and Donald Duck etc before they submit the petition? They aren't taking this seriously.
Plus, it would be surprising if there are 10k Greens in Georgia to sign, too many ppl here still remember when Cynthia McKinney was representing them. She was on local news in the 90's 2000's acting nutty a lot...

7. Better that Greens, Stein, and their sympathizers reveal how dumb they are before voting.

At least this way, they've done the electorate the favor of being too dumb to know how to get on a ballot properly, which protects citizens from accidentally putting them in office somewhere.

13. As someone who has gathered signatures in the past

Your goal is to always have two times or more of the required number of signatures for that very reason

8. My auto correct wants me to call her Jill Stain, which is too funny.

Is "Way to go, auto correct" a thing yet for serendipitous times like this?
