The Wisconsin State Capitol An independent candidate for the Wisconsin state legislature is prevented from using the words "NOT the white man's bitch" to describe herself on the ballot. The decision came on Wednesday from the state's Government Accountability Board (GAB), which upheld a staff recommendation that deemed the wording "pejorative". Ieshuh Griffin, a black woman running for a seat representing east Milwaukee and Glendale , argued her case before the panel of five retired judges on the GAB, which regulates elections in the state. "It's not racist, it's not a slur ... it's not pointed to a particular person. In my point of view, the average politician is a token," she said. When asked by a board member if she would be satisfied with the wording "not under the white man's influence", Griffin did not reply.
