Illinois voters ask elections board to take Trump off 2024 ballot

[Cougarbear]

‘A group of voters from Illinois asked the state board of elections Thursday to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot, making it the most recent state where the former president faces a challenge to his candidacy under the 14th Amendment’s so-called insurrectionist ban.

[…]

“Donald J. Trump, through his words and actions, after swearing an oath as an officer of the United States to support the Constitution, engaged in insurrection or rebellion, or gave aid and comfort to its enemies, as defined by Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment,” the voters wrote in their petition to the board of elections.’

Let the states decide, the Supreme Court shouldn’t interfere.

Democrats are everywhere. Like rats in a sewer. How do we get them out of their brainwashed minds?

A "group of voters"?

3,471,915 Illinois voters voted for Biden in 2020, while 2,446,891 Illinois voters voted for Trump.

So how big is this "group" of Illinois voters? What was their political alignment, how many of them are Republicans, etc?

You don't know, do you? The article says "The party affiliation of the voters, if any, was not listed", so if you ask me, you're just spewing more bullshit.

Now tell me this: Why do you feel the states should have precedence over the federal government and ignore the Supreme Court, C_Clayton_Jones? Gee, for someone who surreptitiously displays the Bill of Rights as an avatar, you sure post like some kind of a Constitution-defying Confederate secessionist or something.

Gawd, you're so full of shit. Do you really think anyone's buying your crap?

i just saw on the news that it was just 5 voters ... dont know if thats the real number though .

how big was the group jones?....they dont say....at least i didnt see it....

[Harry Dresden]

its funny how jones is to chicken shit to defend the shit he throws up....

 

[yidnar]

The right wing SCOTUS may well make that claim …. If they take the case.

If they don’t Trump is in trouble

This is spreading

correct marxist totalitarianism is being spread by the left ... just because the left isnt giving their idiot base a choice for their candidate doesnt mean they can deny republicans a choice .

 

[SassyIrishLass]

The fear...

 

[yidnar]

We have to protect democracy by denying people the right to vote for their candidate of choice.

the left isnt giving dem voters a choice and they are trying to do the same with republican voters .

The supreme court legitimacy is facing a cliff. Will they step in on dodge the bullet.

Yet he occupies the office of President, as it is referred to in the Constitution.

Simple solution for the simp don't vote for him. But we know that's not what the voters oh Illinois want. They want Trump on the ballot to vote for him.

Wow

So you lost your shit when you saw that and read no further?

Try again

Wow

 

[Cellblock2429]

I don't think citizens per se have standing in this matter.

/-----/ Hey Slow Brain, what part of a government of the people, by the people, for the people, can your slow brain not process?

Wow

I wouldn't say I lost my shit, it's par for the course for idiotic dembot cultist, that don't know basic Civics.

Not surprised you weren't aware at all

The President is not an officer, the President commissions all officer per Article II.

The oath a President takes is completely different from the oath Congress and officers etc. take.

And he violated that oath when he organized an insurrection.

We already had this discussion with Nixon. The President is not above the law. It's why Nixon needed a pardon after he resigned.

you have any evidence to support the claim he "organized an insurrection" = nope? Gotcha.

Go eat some playdoh....

 

[JoeB131]

They should become a bit more imaginative regarding the potential pitfalls of such actions. The 2024 election will come before a Republican House in January of 2025. The House will be legally empowered to refuse electoral votes from states that did not allow the same major candidates as the rest of the nation. So, Illinois, Colorado, Maine, and maybe Cali, all could see their votes annulled. Imagine what the reaction would be. One thing, as they say, leads to another...

Very true, we might very well get rid of the electoral college, and that would be a tragedy.

Then we'd have real elections instead of this bullshit.

Doesn't take away from the fact that under a strict reading of the 14th Amendment, Trump is disqualified.
