Stein is the first white woman nominated as Presidential candidate by Green Party.
Why can't they just put two more podiums on stage?

Neither Gary Johnson nor Jill Stein achieved the 15% polling mark they needed to make it into the first debate, but hope is not lost. WIBBITZ

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — Four years ago Stein was arrested for disorderly conduct and handcuffed to a chair at the Hofstra University debate. She tried her luck again this year and has already been escorted off campus.
In August, Stein told USA TODAY that she would be back at this year’s first debate and she was “absolutely” ready to be arrested again. Stein and Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson didn’t make the polling threshold (15%) in polls to make it on stage.

This USA TODAY reporter spotted Stein and her team on the bus that took press Monday morning and tweeted about the appearance.

The Nassau County Police Department told CNN that Stein failed to provide the proper credentials at the university, which led to her being escorted off campus.
"She was on the college campus, we asked to verify for proper credentials, she did not have them, and she was nicely escorted off the campus," a police department spokeswoman said.

Stein told MSNBC in an earlier interview Monday that she would try to get on the debate stage despite failing to meet the requirements needed to participate.

"Well, what I am really hoping to accomplish is what the American people are hoping to accomplish, which is to open up the debates so we have a fair and inclusive debate at a time where the American people rejected the two establishment candidates at record levels," she said. "They have a right not only to vote -- they have a right to know who we can vote for."

Stein, along with Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, failed to qualify for the first presidential debate.

The candidates needed to make a 15% polling threshold across several major national surveys in order to qualify for the debates. The commission determined that the polling averages for the candidates had Stein at 3.2% and Johnson at 8.4%.
