President Trump to be left off 2020 ballots unless he shows his tax returns, Washington State says

[Wyatt earp]

Talk about arrogance, Washington state trying to run a federal election?



Washington Senate passes bill that would keep Trump off 2020 ballot unless he releases tax returns


Washington's state Senate passed a bill this week that would drop President Trumpfrom the state's 2020 presidential ballot until he releases his tax returns.

The bill, which advanced Tuesday to the state's House of Representatives, according to CBS News, would require any candidate on the ballot for president in the state to release five years of tax returns before appearing in a general or primary election.

Senators voted by a 28-21 margin to approve the bill, according to CBS. The state's attorney general and solicitor told lawmakers in a letter this week that the proposal likely was constitutional, but analysts expect the law if passed to be challenged in federal court.

A state can't pass such a law. It would be nullified.

 

[Confounding]

Well that was a waste of their time. I'm sure their idiot constituents are thrilled with it though.

What do I have to spell it out for the uneducated voter crowd? What's next a state saying only a black woman between the ages of 25 ~ 30 can run for president?

Article 6 sec 2: Any state law that conflicts with federal law is unconstitutional.

As far as I know, republicans and democrats can run their primaries however they want and they both have automatic access to a ballad spot in all 50 states, so this requirement wouldn’t apply to trump. It seems more like a political statement rather than a practical law. I don’t see this as a state trying to run an election. That’s an over dramatization

Tell that to pot-head states.

Trump to be left off 2020 ballots unless he shows his tax returns, Washington State says

Washington State Democrat Legislators want to keep Trump off the 2020 ballot.
Far left wing extremist Democrat Washington state legislators have voted to force President Trump to be removed from the 2020 ballots unless he shows his tax returns. It’s is just another lame attempt by the totally corrupt and dishonest Democrats to suppress the voters and steal elections. They should be sued for voting rights violation.

Trump to be left off 2020 ballots unless he shows his tax returns, Washington State says

Donald Trump’s name will not appear on voting ballots in Washington State if the president fails to release his tax returns ahead of the 2020 elections.

Lawmakers in the Washington State senate approved major legislation this week that would legally require all presidential candidates to release the last five years of their personal tax returns in order to have their names featured on both primary and general voting ballots.

Surely they have finished that audit by now ?

I wonder if this is a wise move ? Doesnt it create a precedent ? Trump is a bad apple but this type of tactic could be used to exclude decent people.

Honest people don't have a thing to worry about. If it excludes dishonest people, it's a breath of fresh air and would stop MOST of the Presidential Wanna be's cold in their tracks. Imagine, an Honest Abe President. It's been a very long time. I believe the last one was Ike.

Republicans are cult like, they will write him in.

And it will be found to be unconstitutional as there is no constitutional requirement to publicly disclose tax returns

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Every day, every action, our Socialist Progressives find a new way to tell us that they do not want to live in a country that they're not running into poverty.

 

[Blues Man]

They won't have to as no state can make an unconstitutional law

 

[RodISHI]

Cool. Maybe California will try to do the same and then their election fraud bullshit won't be counted this next round.

 

[mdk]

This theater will get slapped down in the courts.

 

[Marion Morrison]

No Washington votes will get counted if they do that. People may even get arrested. I know somebody should be arrested if they do that.

 

[Yousaidwhat]

I'd write his name in just for kicks and giggles.

Who the fuck are they to decide who can be on the ballot.

I'd like to set this precedent.

The second a Dem is left off the ballot the screams would be heard the world over.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Who the fuck are they to decide who can be on the ballot.

They are literally the body tasked with deciding who gets on the ballot in their State...
