CCD in Axios: Watch out for the staples, Elon.

If you're reading this email you may already know how often qualified candidates and parties get thrown off the ballot based on bogus technicalities.

Like the time Democrats tried to force Cornel West off Wisconsin's 2024 ballot because a two-page document he filed wasn't stapled.

Or when they claimed RFK, Jr. shouldn't be allowed to start a political party in North Carolina because he identified as an independent.

Or the Democrats' favorite: that the Green Party should be disqualified in North Carolina due to evidence of "widespread fraud" in its nomination petitions -- except the evidence didn't exist, and the Court sanctioned the Democrats for pursuing frivolous claims.

Well, Republicans can play that game too.

Does Elon Musk know what he's in for by founding the new America Party?
