"Wisconsin Supreme Court Mandates Dean Phillips' Inclusion on Primary Ballot"

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips will appear on the state's primary ballot after he claimed he was unlawfully excluded. Phillips, a Democratic congressman representing Minnesota, accused the state party of forcing him to spend about $300,000 to collect signatures through a separate process to acquire ballot access. The court found that the Wisconsin selection committee had "erroneously exercised its discretion" and directed that Phillips's name be placed on the 2024 Democratic presidential preference primary ballot. Phillips praised the decision, and his campaign plans to continue in South Carolina and Michigan.
