Ballot Access Challenges

Dr. Jill Stein discusses her struggles with ballot access, particularly in Nevada, where she was denied due to alleged legal manipulations by the Democratic Party. The party reportedly hired lawyers to challenge her campaign's signature collection process, leading to her disqualification from the ballot. Despite gathering three times the required number of signatures, complications arose from an incorrect form provided by the Secretary of State, which the Democrats later seized upon legally. This situation exemplifies the tactics used by the two major parties to maintain their dominance and restrict voter options.
