California’s lieutenant governor sent a letter to the state’s secretary of state on Wednesday asking her to explore "every legal option" to remove former President Don...
Denying him primary delegates, saving money during the main campaign, and effects on down ballot races are all good reasons to kick him out. Also, yknow, following the constitution which clearly disqualifies Trump.
Yeah, the immediate benefit is the lack of Trump on the ballot in these states will hurt Republican candidates. Also, the Democrats will not have to spend money in these states.
All good points in response to your question, but here’s another: He attempted an insurrection, and is constitutionally prohibited from holding office. It’s in the 14th amendment, article 3. He’s legally prevented to be on the ballot, but laws like that only work if someone enforces it.
Let’s get every blue state, and then maybe a few purple states will follow suit.
That’s not as likely to happen as you may think.
Purple states have purple or even red state governments.
If there’s a chance Trump could win a state, then that state is already likely to have shitty voters that elected a shitty state government that will not jump to follow the blue states.
This is for the primary ballots so it would mean he cant win Republican primary votes in that state. That means another Republican candidate could beat him and become the nominee if I’m understanding correctly.
If enough of a spook is raised about losing any chance of an EC win, or if enough conservatives try running to pick those states up themselves, it will divide the right wing ballot.
My guess: With the Colorado Supreme Court decision, he wants to build momentum of states disqualifying him. It would also send a message to the Supreme Court that this might be the right decision.
why? he doesnt have a chance in hell of CA anyway, why spin your wheels?
i guess im curious which of these states might split their electoral votes

I mean they should still do it because it’s the right thing to do, but yes it won’t carry much meaning in the upcoming election.
