Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has filed a lawsuit in federal court over the decision of Ohio election officials not to count votes for her after her running mate was named by the national party after a state administrative deadline. Cleveland.

Stein filed as an independent presidential candidate in Ohio because the Green Party lost state recognition several years ago. She listed Anita Rios — the Green Party’s 2014 nominee for Ohio governor — as her running mate as a placeholder until the Green Party nominated Butch Ware to run with Stein at their national convention in August.
The Ohio Secretary of State’s Office granted a request to remove Rios from the ballot but said Ware’s name couldn’t be added because the state deadline to replace an independent vice presidential candidate on the 2024 ballot had passed. Office spokesperson Dan Lusheck told Cleveland.com that Stein’s name will still appear on state ballots, which were already being sent to overseas and military voters, but votes for her would not count.
Asked to comment on the lawsuit, Lusheck said in an email that “Our previous view of this issue still stands,” Cleveland.com reported. As the Green Party’s presidential nominee in 2016, Stein got 46,271 votes in Ohio, or 0.84% of the statewide vote.
