Democrats scramble to remove socialist party candidate from ballots in key swing states
[NYPOST] The Democratic party is scrambling to boot a fringe socialist group's presidential candidate from statewide ballots in a pair of critical swing states.
Operatives launched two legal challenges in Pennsylvania on Aug. 8 to the nominating papers of the virulently anti-Israel Party for Socialism and Liberation‘s candidates, Claudia De La Cruz and her vice presidential running mate, Karina Garcia.
A political action committee called ClearChoice is leading the effort, with funding from Democratic moneymen like venture capitalist Ronald Conway and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. The group is also going after other pesky third-party challengers in various states, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
