The 2026 electoral scams have already started

As in 2024, some Republicans are running as Green Party candidates, not intending to win, but perhaps in an attempt to siphon votes from Democratic candidates in races that night be close.

Caveat: this isn't meant to dissuade legitimate members of the Green Party from seeking office.  I do, however, advise all Democratic candidates and orgs, and Green Party voters, to do their due diligence when seeing a Green Party candidate on the ballot.  Know that candidate's background.

Caveat2: It's early still, and because of that, I haven't looked at legislative of federal races.

For example, one candidate for AZ Governor (who has filed both a Statement of Interest [SOI] and formed a committee with the Arizona Secretary of State) is Risa Lombardo.

Her SOI filing lists her party as Green -



Her committee filing doesn't list a party -












However, she's got an interesting background.
