    I’m of two minds on this. I feel like this is a little bit of undemocratic action that is in service of preventing much more massive undemocratic action from happening.

    1. Stein’s candidacy, with Trump on the ballot, is a risk to democracy. She’s not on all the ballots, the odds of her winning are basically impossible, and she can only really help the guy who attempted a coup.
    2. If the state guided the Greens to use the form without county names, removing them from the ballot for this technically is pretty petty and arguably undemocratic.

    We need ranked choice voting nationally.
