The complaint from End Citizens United alleges, though, that the Stein campaign must have known about the effort by Republican groups.

Alas, this is from someone who doesn't know how many House Reps there are. And from a party that recently has gotten tripped up over requirements to get nominated.

I .. don't think we can make any assumptions here on what the Greens must have known or what their intelligence level is.

If Stein had paid Synapse to collect signatures, the campaign would be required to disclose the help on her campaign finance reports.

Isn't this the point though? The GOP is interfering by helping the Greens, including paying for this themselves instead of having the Greens pay?

“There is no conceivable way IAG and Synapse could have collected, organized, and submitted 4,720 nominating petitions securing the Stein Campaign’s space on the ballot without inside information from the Stein Campaign” about how many signatures it needed and from which parts of the state, the complaint said.

Counterargument - the Greens are leaky like a sieve and this info leaked out, and the GOP operatives got ahold of it that way and went ahead. Goes to my point above - incompetence can really explain everything, and sadly the current Greens seem to have that in abundance.

Stein appears to have minimal support from New Hampshire voters

The silver lining - even if Stein wins the lawsuit she'll fail to take the election away from Harris in New Hampshire.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
