Weld and Walsh could still appear on the primary ballot if they obtain 8,000 signatures by Jan. 28, according to the news wire.

Andrew Hitt, the chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party, said they decided not to submit the other GOP candidates’ names because of their lack of activity in the state, their lack of success in making it on other state ballots and their lack of communication, as they didn’t contact the state’s party until Monday. The Trump campaign, on the other hand, has been working with the party, Hitt said, according to the AP.

Weld took to Twitter to express his displeasure with the Wisconsin GOP’s decision, calling it “shameful” and “not how a democracy works.”

Walsh campaign spokesperson Charles Siler told The Hill that the campaign is "incredibly angry" over the decision, saying it disenfranchises Republican voters.

"I would just say this kind of disenfranchisement is unprecedented as so many things are in the Trump presidency," he said.
