On July 21, the Wisconsin Elections Division voted not to permit Ieshuh Griffin, an independent candidate for lower house of the Wisconsin legislature, 10th district, to have her choice of ballot label on the November ballot.  She chose “Not the ‘whiteman’s bitch’.”  State law says an independent candidate may choose any label that is five words or less.

Here is a web page, the Milwaukee Drum, with information about Griffin.  The 10th Assembly district is in Milwaukee.  The Chicago Tribune has this story about the controversy.  The article says Griffin plans to bring a lawsuit to restore her ballot label.  This potential lawsuit could have important ramifications.
