Given that CA is not into enforcing laws and obstructing law enforcement, your post is weak.
Take the illegals out of the mix and he probably DID.
You didn't say "nominee" until you were corrected, goalpost-mover. You said, quote, "it was Nixon that started that tradition".
Whelp --- it wasn't. It was Romney. At least the continuous run. Actually, fifteen years earlier, Adlai Stevenson and his running mate John Sparkman had released their tax returns, calling Nixon's bluff, who was then a VP candidate and already in hot water that culminated in the infamous "Checkers Speech".
>> In his famous "Checkers speech," in which he painted himself as an American everyman struggling to make ends meet, Nixon called on the Democratic candidates for president and vice president — Adlai Stevenson and John Sparkman — to "come before the American people, as I have, and make a complete financial statement as to their financial history." He added, "And if they don't, it will be an admission that they have something to hide."
Stevenson and Sparkman matched Nixon's disclosures and upped the ante. They released 10 years of returns, far more information than Nixon provided, and demanded that the Republican candidates do the same. In response, Eisenhower grudgingly released a summary of his tax returns but refused to release the forms. Nixon, however, refused to release anything related to his taxes.
After his loss to John Kennedy in 1960, Nixon retreated from the public eye, moving to New York to work as a lawyer. In 1967, he sought the presidency again, facing off against Michigan Gov. George Romney (father of Mitt).
In the primary season, George Romney set a new standard for transparency. He released a dozen years of his returns to Look magazine. They revealed that he had made plenty of money but had also given much of it to charity. The disclosures cemented Romney's reputation for outsized business acumen and remarkable generosity.
Look then went to Nixon, who proved distinctly less forthcoming. He permitted a writer to inspect photocopies of his returns, but only three years' worth. A subsequent investigation by the Los Angeles Times raised questions about some of Nixon's tax claims, but nothing came of them. << -- Nixon's Failed Effort to Withhold his Tax Returns

Nixon's creative deductions were a somewhat forgotten fallout of Watergate but it was what the "I'm not a crook" line referred to. He got slapped with a back-tax bill of $471,431 plus interest.
So ----------------------------- nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno. Claiming that Richard Nixon of all creatures started the tradition of disclosing tax returns is wild fiction. George Romney was not the first but was the first in a continuous line that ended with Rump. Nixon was kicking and screaming all the way.

And now we know another reason why so many want to leave this shithole.

I have that notification too. Got mine maybe three weeks ago. County ROVs run at different speeds.
The passing of California's Proposition 14 in 2010 changed the voting in the Primaries. All voters get the same ballot with only two exceptions: voting for President/Vice-President (federal office) and voting for political party central committee members.
Therefore, to vote for President (and Central Committee members), you have to belong to that political party. However, for "no party preference" voters, and that's what this mailer is about, select parties will allow NPP voters to vote for President/VP. The Republican Party has chosen not to allow outsiders to determine their candidates.
So If I want to vote for the Republican candidate(s), I'd need to re-register as Republican to do so. Same with the Greens.
These notifications give ROVs advance time for a NPP voter to choose another party's ballot or to re-register to choose another party's ballot.
Law was struck down.

California is so NOT America in so many ways.
That's bullshit, unless it is a primary.

Unconstitutional in a presidential election. They risk having all votes trashed.
Where does the Constitution say anything at all about having a presidential election?
Or about political parties?

Maybe if you read it you would learn the requirements - the only requirements - to run for office.
Maybe.
