no tax return, no place on ballot

[mikegriffith1]

And this from the same people who cry that it's discriminatory and oppressive to require people to show a photo ID to vote. They want anyone to be able to just walk up and vote with no form of identity verification, but they want candidates to release their tax returns to be on the ballot. #double_standard.

 

[NotYourBody]

This will be interesting. Obviously a state can pass such a law. I think it's fair to want a candidate to be transparent. I'm not sure the courts will allow it.

/—-/ And if Red States ban pro abortion candidates from the ballot you’ll be cool with that, right?

Oh red states don't need to do that. Their elections are already rigged through voter suppression.

sounds good to me -

Trump’s tax returns required under new California election law

California, the traitor state! lol you idiots are insane!

Oh stop. We were NEVER voting for Trump. With or without the tax returns.

Thank for admitting your disorder.

Unconstitutional.

Well, it's not like Democrats give a shit about the Constitution.

 

[Obiwan]

Teddy Kennedy never released his tax returns when he challenged Jimmy Carter in the 1980 Dem primary.

How about a different standard? If you destroy evidence that's under a Congressional subpoena, you don't get to be on the ballot. Hillary would have been ineligible under this rule.

You can have that standard in Virginia. In California, we want to see his tax returns. We don't trust the motherfucker.

So, if Trump releases his, the Democrat challenger has to release THEIRS, right???

And their tax return (and net gain in assets) can be put under a microscope for payoffs or illicit activity...

If the Democrat doesn't release THEIR tax returns, THEY get left off the ballot, and Trump carries the state...

I just can't wait to see THAT play out!!!

And when the "compact" from the blue states (giving their EC votes to the winner of the popular vote) kicks in, the Democrats are done if they can't find a CLEAN candidate!!!

 

[NotYourBody]

So a red state can now add arbitrary requirements for the Democrats' candidate, or keep them off the ballot, right???

And if California demands that Trump show his tax returns to get on the ballot, then I assume that the Democrats' candidate will have to show THEIR tax return too, or be left off the ballots!!!

I believe Biden has already submitted his tax returns.

Wrong. They are adding a requirement to run for President. If the founders wanted states to make their own requirements, they would have stated so in the Constitution. The state of Commie Fornia decided to change the requirements which is unconstitutional, and they know it.

No, the person can still run for president, they are not stopping them. You are just making things up.

No, what they are saying is HE CAN'T run for President in their state. Again, totally unconstitutional.

That's like my state saying before the Romney election, all contenders must provide their college transcripts and original birth certificate. Do you think my state would have been able to do that for DumBama's reelection?

That would have been Obama's problem, not your state's problem.

Tax returns are not that hard to get a hold of. If Trump doesn't have a copy, he can get one from the IRS.

It's not a question of whether he can get them or not. It's a question of a state trying to blackmail a sitting President. Commies do things like that you know.......

 

[NotYourBody]

The dems have really lost it...its amazing to witness....you could not have made this up....

Since Democrats have turned against white folks, they are worried about losing elections. So now the plan is beg, borrow and steal.

Only against the conservative white folk. Not against the left wing libbie white folk.

Those are filing requirements, not qualification requirements. It's more about fees and deadlines if anything. But I just want you to remember this:

View attachment 271990

This is what I'll be posting to your reply back on this topic after the court shoots it down.

They are requirements to be on the ballot.

I suspect the courts will, but I do not think it is as black and white as your little mind makes is.

I also do not agree with it, but that is irrelevant.

Filing requirements are pure paperwork is all. This is blackmail. Sorry you can't see the difference, but the court will.

collecting 10,000 signatures is more than just paperwork

That's only if you don't run with a supporting party. It applies to Independents and write-ins.

Democrats don't have to obey the law. Just ask 'em.

You can pretty much take it to the bank that California will not vote GOP for the remainder of your lifetime.

 

[my2¢]

I believe such a law would benefit Trump. Presidential candidates don't get elected in November, those that comprise the Electoral College are what people are really selecting. California Republicans simply need to get their electors chosen, and to accomplish that they'll have a better chance with somebody on the ballot other than Trump himself.

I'd suggest Pat Boone which shows how much I don't keep up with the Who's Who of current celebrities.

Better not say that too loud. After this, Trump may have ICE focus specifically on that state for the removal of illegals regardless if they are criminal or not.

It's just the idea of commie states changing or trying to change the election system because leftist have the mentality of children. They lost, and they've been melting ever since. Get rid of the Electoral College, majority vote of the country gets their EC votes, trying to blackmail a sitting President, allowing convicted felons to vote, tossing around the idea of lowering the voting age.

The problem is if we don't stop these anti-Americans in their tracks, they will only try to advance from there. Democrats never had the balls to go nose to nose in a fair fight.

I can't agree with any of that after the GOP amended the Constitution that outlawed presidents from serving more than 2 terms.

I think he already had ICE focus on California just a couple of weekends ago. I didn't go well for him.

California immigrants are not sitting around waiting for ICE. They are attending workshops telling them how to stay safe in sanctuary cities.

 

[Sailing_Onward]

Won’t stand.

But I’d laugh my ass off if it held, Trump wasn’t on the ballot and won via a write-in campaign.

 

[The Original Tree]

Right after Nancy Pelosi shows us The Citizenship Papers of all of her “Brown Latino Slaves” err servants!

Oh and The last 50 years of Tax Returns.

The Constitution does not mandate an election of electors to select the president. The 14th Amendment does mention the choosing of Electors. There is similar mention in the 24th Amendment. In other words, Electors could be appointed by a state's legislature, or the legislature could empower the governor to choose electors. If a state decides on a public election as a method of selecting electors which all states do, then state law and the state constitution determines the requirements and how the election is run.

In accordance with the constitution California is free to selects electors in any way it chose as long as it does not violate state or federal law. Requiring all candidates to submit tax returns violates neither state or federal constitution. If Trump does not submit his tax returns, he will loose a huge of number of voters in the popular vote but still could become president. If this would spread to other states in which Trump is looking to win, then this could be a huge problem for the president. It could well force him to release his hidden tax returns. If this would happen, it would bring to light a big problem in the constitution.

The big problem is not the Constitution. The big problem are Democrats.

Waa, we lost so you got to get rid of punch card ballots.
Waa, we lost so you got to get rid of Diebold machines.
Waa, we lost so we need to get rid of the electoral college.
Waa, we lost so we need to get rid of gerrymandering.
Waa, we lost so we need to stop Voter-ID.
Waa, we lost so we need exit polls to tell us who won.
Waa, we lost so we need to lower the voting age to 16.

It just never stops with Democrats. Not once have I ever heard a Democrat say we lost, and it's our fault we lost. We need to change what we are doing.
