Each election our Green candidates face the challenge of our uphill battle against the two-party controlled ballot. This means we have to fight even the white-out they use in their attempt to wipe away our progress. The Elkhart County Election office has been busy changing the signature sheets being submitted by Marshall Travis, our candidate for Indiana House District 48. We counted 15 signatures that were changed to not valid after they had been certified as valid. Our democracy is being undermined with the single stroke of a correction pen wielded at the Elkhart County Election office. 

Here are the facts of political life in America today:

As a result of the 2024 election, the Green Party of the United States (GPUS) is the 3rd largest political party in the nation. Let that sink in....

On a national level, the GPUS in 2024 surpassed the Libertarians by a wide margin and all the other “non-established” parties trailed far far behind.

The Arizona Green Party (AZGP) is sounding the alarm about three “sham” candidates running for governor and secretary of state without the party’s blessing.

They had our complete tax returns the whole time.

The Secretary of State submitted falsified emails into court evidence.

None of that mattered to the judge, because the only thing that matters now is that we are five points behind the leading Democrats, and they are terrified.

• Sacramento Judge Denies Dr. Butch Ware Ballot Access to the California Governor’s Race

Tuesday, March 31, 2026 – Sacramento Superior Court Judge James Arguelles, at a hearing on Thursday March 26, threw out the Green Party gubernatorial candidate Rudolph “Butch” Ware’s lawsuit challenging the California Secretary of State’s decision to exclude Dr. Ware from the June 2nd primary ballot.

One of the greatest challenges for candidates running outside of the corrupt duopoly is getting on the ballot.

In 2024, the anti-Democratic Party put more money into mounting legal challenges to keep Jill Stein off the ballot than she spent on her entire campaign! But she still succeeded in getting on the ballot across the nation and emerged as the strongest candidate to run outside of the duopoly, positioning the Green Party as the only progressive political party that’s ready to lead.

• What are they afraid of, the Greens?

Having recently spent over 30 hours in 3 days in a “virtual” court room, facing grueling testimony in regard to the Democrats’ challenge to our petition for the Green Party candidate for Governor of New Jersey, including threats by an over-zealous attorney of fraud and forgery (which should have been bridled back by the presiding Judge, but weren’t), I can only come to one conclusion.

• A candidacy and a choice for acceptable domestic and international policies hangs on handwriting analysis?

• Did Bias and Discrimination Lead to a Benavides for Governor Write-In Campaign?

Consider the following. Is your signature in 2025 the same as it was in 1973? Or in 1999? Or in 2020? Does your signature look the same every time you sign something? Would your signature, written in the quiet of your home look the way it does if you are instead signing someone’s clipboard in the middle of the summer on a boardwalk in Asbury Park? How does your electronic signature, you know the kind you write with your index finger on a screen, compare with the signature you write with a pen on paper?

You already know the two-party system is broken. But what you may not know is just how rigged it really is.

Ballot access restrictions. Debate exclusions. Corporate-funded campaigns. Voter suppression. The system is set up to keep independent voices out and the same old parties in.
