Libertarian Party Complains Over Exclusion

The bar too high for inclusion into political debates in Wisconsin?  That’s the claim from the state’s Libertarian party which has filed a complaint against the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association for effectively blocking its gubernatorial candidate, Robert Burke, from upcoming debates on the basis of polling numbers and fundraising.  All too familiar ground, complains state libertarian party chair, Paul Ehlers

 

 

Ehlers says it’s ridiculous to require Robert Burke to poll at least 10% in the state, when pollsters never ask about how voters feel about the candidate.
