It is not undemocratic to be barred from the ballot because your campaign did not bother reading the fine print on the paperwork to make sure it's all correct. It's not the level of attention to detail or responsibility I would want from a presidential administration either.
Ive yet to have anyone actually cite the forms and what specifically was overlooked. Like somewhere it just states this form not admissable for candidate qualification.
All of this is incredibly self serving arguments, you would be having quite an outrage if a democrat was barred from an election because of fine print technicality. Thats not what you actually care about, you only care that people you dont like suffered from it.
You didn't look very hard. This took seconds:

Was it a fuckup by the Secretary of State or just a ratfuck? Yes. Does that mean the campaign shouldn't have lacked the attention to detail to be able to avoid it? No. They didn't bother checking to find out that everything was as it should be. And that is not who people should want running the country. If they get thrown off this easily, what will it be like when they're negotiating things like treaties and trade agreements?
You're the second person ive asked to cite the forms in question, who links to an article about the court case instead.
The forms, like the forms the green party allegedly received copies of that were incorrect, i am asking to see those forms.
Again. Seconds.

And this is the last time I'm doing your homework for you.
He doesn’t want to see the forms. He just wants to be right.
I guess they don't have to click on the link if they don't want.
Incidentally, the language in the affidavit makes it pretty clear what it's for.
Why are you saying again like you found them the first time. So, this is the form the secretary of state handed out to a party asking for the form to enter an election
Do keep up.
I see, you don't understand that when someone says "again," they mean that they are repeating the thing they said the first time.
This should help:

By the way, you could also thank me for providing the document you said no one would provide you with and which you couldn't take a couple of seconds to find yourself.
And asking two people was easier than using a search engine?
I did search, and like these two people i was getting articles about the court case instead of the forms.
Hostility to citation just makes political discussion less informed.
