Dean Phillips Sues Wisconsin Supreme Court to Secure Spot on Democratic Presidential Primary Ballot

Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips is asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to order his inclusion on the primary ballot after being excluded by the state's Democratic leaders who only listed President Joe Biden. Phillips argues that his request was illegally ignored and that he meets the state's criteria for ballot access. The court has given the committee and the elections commission until Wednesday to respond, and Phillips is seeking a ruling by Feb. 9 to avoid conflicts with absentee ballot deadlines.
