A divided NC elections board grants the Green Party official status

[RandySF]

The state Board of Elections voted 3-2 along party lines to once again recognize the Green Party after a discussion over whether it qualified.

Republicans supported recognition, while Democrats were opposed.

The official status means that voters can continue to register with the party.

There are three ways to qualify for party recognition, by submitting petition signatures; having a candidate for president or governor receive at least 2% of the vote in the previous general election or having a presidential candidate on the ballot in at least 35 states.

1. "Republicans supported recognition, while Democrats were opposed."

Of course, they did. Rethugs are not going to lose any votes to that party. They are celebrating the fact that the Greens can take Democratic votes from the Democrats. They want it.

Shady maneuvers is all they have.
