WASHINGTON (AP) Third-party presidential candidate Cornel West on Thursday lost a Supreme Court bid to be included on the presidential ballot in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.
Justice Samuel Alito refused his emergency appeal in a brief order. Alito handles appeals originating in Pennsylvania.
West, a liberal academic currently serving as professor of philosophy and Christian practice at Union Theological Seminary in New York, would likely draw far more votes away from Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris than from former Republican President Donald Trump. Wests lawyers in the case have deep Republican ties.
The refusal comes after a rejection by U.S. District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan, who expressed sympathy for Wests claim earlier this month but found it was too late to reprint ballots and retest election machines without increasing the risk of error.

(28,681 posts)He's one of the most illiberal people I have ever seen. He is angry, grievance driven, and pedantic. He seems to have no empathy or common sense. He festers in a world of hate.
I am tired of Stein and RFK and West and their on again/off again ballot shenanigans. They are crisis actors and they are a distraction. None of them is being a meaningful or productive member of society, despite the bully pulpit they have been given. They are doing Putin's work, either knowingly or unknowingly.
Enough!

This sedition shit stain is one of Putins useful idiots. And she doesnt care.
Wonder how much $$ the Russians have funneled to Stein.

He should STFU and pay his taxes and child support.
