"I hope someone kills you." Sen. Susan Collins Menaced for Kavanaugh Vote

The Green Party of Ohio is working hard to ensure its candidates will have ballot access in 2020 and 2022, or to make it onto general election ballots for the next four years, Green Party candidates will have to collect signatures to qualify for the ballot as independents.
