NJ to block Trump from ballot unless....

As if Trump would ever get New Jersey's electoral votes anyway...

Getting him off the ballot would decrease his popular vote count, and bolster the whole "teh EC is the debbil!!!" argument from the left.
 

The constitution spells out the requirements to be President, thus States have no ability to add any further requirements.

Unconstitutional on it's face.
They didn’t say you couldn’t write his name in on the ballot. They just said they didn’t want it on the ballot unless he released his tax returns. Why is that a problem? Are Republicans afraid he has something that could be exposed? Don’t Republicans want to ensure that Trump isn’t a criminal? What kind of people would elect a criminal to be president of the United States? Knowing he’s a criminal?

There's also a couple of New York Democrats who could force Trump's hand in this matter:

How to Make Trump's Tax Returns Public | DCReport.org


"On June 14, the New York State attorney general, Barbara Underwood, filed a civil complaint against President Trump and his three oldest children, accusing them of 'persistently illegal conduct' in using the Donald J. Trump Foundation as 'little more than a checkbook for payments from Mr. Trump or his businesses to nonprofits, regardless of their purpose or legality.'

"Ms. Underwood believes there is abundant evidence to bring criminal charges against Mr. Trump as well. She made that position very clear in the letters she sent to the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Election Commission in Washington recommending 'further investigation and legal action.'"

New York law requires the governor or attorney general request those criminal charges and, so far, neither politician has chosen to do so.

It's a thin distinction that will not pass constitutional muster. It's an additional requirement above and beyond what is Constitutionally mandated.
