Headline: GOP consultant in Arizona pulls strings to get Green Party on the ballot
Since the GOP is religiously anti-environment you know they're not supporting the Green Party based on their merits. It's just to pull votes away from the Democratic candidate, a strategy which if successful would result in a situation where a minority of voters elects the candidate with the opposite political philosophy from the majority. This is another GOP salvo in their long assault on democracy. From voter intimidation, purging eligible voters from the voter rolls, or restricting voting stations in Democratic districts to slightly less horrible schemes like phone jamming and planting fake candidates, Republicans have shown they're not prepared to let the people fairly elect their leaders. Fans of democracy would do well to keep them out of power.
