Libertarian Party of Wisconsin Decries Debate Exclusion

September 13, 2024

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Libertarian Party of Wisconsin (LPWI) wonders why the organizers of the formal Presidential debates seem to think that excluding candidates like Libertarian Chase Oliver, the Green Party's Jill Stein, and independent Cornel West from the debate stage is acceptable? In an era where a primary debate can have nearly a dozen candidates on the stage at once, it does seem suspicious to limit the speech of American citizens simply because they are not a part of the two "major" parties.

"As we see Donald Trump and Kamala Harris debate on ABC, recognize that this debate is an
incomplete one that doesn't tell the full story of this election. By excluding candidates like
myself, ABC does a disservice to the voting public." - Chase Oliver, Libertarian Party candidate
for President

It should not matter if the candidate gets one million votes or one thousand. They have earned
their right to be on the ballot and the voters deserve to hear all platforms that will be available
to them this November. The Commission on Presidential Debates and the mainstream media networks, by
restricting access, are feeding the duopoly that a growing number of voters are becoming
disillusioned with.
