Trump Removed from Maine Primary Ballot

[meaner gene]

How about it?

example:

§722-A. Determination of declared write-in candidate
To be considered a declared write-in candidate, a person must file a declaration of write-in candidacy with the Secretary of State, on a form approved by the Secretary of State, on or before 5 p.m. on the 70th day prior to the election. The candidate must meet all the other qualifications for that office.

The secretary of state makes that determination under Maine election law.

Trump is a write in candidate?
I also find it cute you decided to not provide a link.

It’s what happens when you have a republic instead of a democracy! Y’all enjoying it?

No I'm not enjoying your Party make a mockery out of the Constitution and our election laws in a desperate attempt to hold onto their power.

Your Party's "Hail Mary" is not sitting well with REAL AMERICANS be they DEM, GOP, or IND.

It reeks of desperation. They're incapable of nominating a decent candidate, so they resort to this shit.

It’s a States’ Rights issue. If Maine’s Constitution permits it, they have a right to set their own election rules in our federal REPUBLIC.

Due process happens ONLY in a court of law.

It seems you don't know the difference between public opinion and an actual court.

Wrong. The Supreme Court ruled that due process only requires the agency making the decision have provisions for appealing their decision. Often to agency administrative law judge or office that handles appeals of lower level decisions.

Trump is the one destroying democracy and the republic.

Where you are born is not a criminal matter.

Which means no court of law would make that determination. Absent a live controversy.

And without a court determination that Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't a "natural born citizxen" he would be eligible to run for president, until a court rules?

That could take years of appeals before a decision is final.

Democracy was doomed once we convinced ourselves it was a good idea to vote for evil.

 

[JWBooth]

A single Maine Democrat bans Trump from ballot.​

Champions of democracy keeping the voters from having the opportunity to express their illusion of choice.

Evil is often in the eye of the beholder. Be specific.

I do not know the rule, however this woman is not a Democrat. When we argue constitution in other ways near all other's called Democrats are not. They are Progressive Socialists supporting silent revolution. Hence the endless Democracy rants as everyone voting thinks its freedom. It is not. And skanks like this will hide if she ever has to prove herself for survival. Many Progs are so insulated as they never know what a real threat is. She represents the harbinger of dictatorship.

SKANK! You disrespect a woman who you Nothing about,
you just read this post about her two min ago. & threw in a trash post!

Primary election. Means nothing.

The real question is what happens if a state removes a nominated candidate from the ballot for the general election.

No, it is EXPLICITLY Stated as a condition and carries no weight of criminality.

The 14th Amendment explicitly states that no citizen's liberty can be abridged. This means that due process is required and that means a conviction by a court of law.

Every time some pompous, pedantic jerk-off strikes a pose and says "be specific", "**** you" is my default response. Lesser of two evils is killing us.

The Democrat party is out of control. No charges, no crime, no conviction.

One Leftist decides to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters.

Nobody was disenfranchised. If trump is not on a ballot you can still vote.

You aren't disenfranchised when you're denied a constitutionally ineligible candidate.

It boils down to a states right issue
