NOT the "whiteman's bitch"
From the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
State elections officials narrowly rejected a Milwaukee Assembly candidate's attempt to run with the slogan "NOT the 'whiteman's bitch' " under her name on the ballot.
Ieshuh Griffin, a Milwaukee independent running to replace retiring Rep. Annette "Polly" Williams (D-Milwaukee), said in response she would sue the Government Accountability Board for infringing on her freedom of speech.
"I'm not making a derogatory statement toward an ethnic group. I'm stating what I'm not," Griffin told board members. "It's my constitutional right to freedom of speech."
Looks like she'll just be labeled as "Independent" on the ballot. I'm willing to bet she'll get more votes if she can get her preferred slogan on there.
