Democrats move to take Trump off the ballot

[OKTexas]

States move to require all presidential candidates to release taxes

All we hear from democrats are accusations that the GOP are tying to suppress the vote in a myriad of ways

Funny, I never heard one Republican suggest that the democrat nominee should be taken off the ballot.

That dear friends is called fascism. .

Shouldn't States be able to write their own rules?

Not if it's a clear violation of the laws regarding privacy on tax returns. It also adds a requirement for office that is not supported by the Constitution. The courts won't allow such laws to stand.

.

Where does the Constitution lay out the requirement for collecting a certain number of signatures to be on a state ballot?

And signatures violate privacy laws, HOW?

Democrats move to take Trump off the ballot
This is called lying.

Dems propose requiring tax returns in order to be on the ballot. Trump's own action would determine the outcome.

Besides, the Constitutional Right to privacy in one's personal finances is right there in the Constitution next to the Constitutional right to privacy allowing a woman to murder her unborn child. A state cannot force a candidate to release their tax returns just for news and entertainment purposes in a campaign. That's nonsense. If you really believe that to be the case then it will extend to All public officeholders at every level in every branch, state and local right on down to the bimbos on your local school board.

Not in this case. We are electing a President of all the states, not just one.

Democrats know that Trump is going to win. They have to stack the deck somehow.

Yeah right, sure. We California refuse to entertain white males as candidates for POTUS. The OP is right, today's left approaches fascism.

I see them as STALINISTS

It's idiotic from the get-go. Will it really matter if VT, CA, NY etc. take Trump off the ballot, except to serve as fodder for the mockery of snowflakes?

I think it’s a terrible precedent myself. What’s next? Stating that you have to be a resident of that state to be on the ballot?

However, for those who preach that States should have the right to regulate a woman’s right to choose, run their own education departments, decide who can use what form of ID to vote…it’s interesting how those people are such ardent supporters of a state deciding it’s own course….right up until they are not for a state deciding its own course.

What part of "United States" do you not understand?

Releasing tax returns has been a tradition for decades. It gives the voters real insight into a candidate's financial world as to how he earns his money & where his investments are.

Trump refused after promising he would. Here you are defending that lie.

Since we can't trust Trump to do it, either he will have to or not be on the ballot.

Release them or not be on the ballot. Too bad for Littledick Donnie.

Why don't you just look at Trump's financial statements submitted to the FEC? That tells you more than an income tax return by far!

Most of what you said makes sense. But how could you be a resident of every state? That part makes no sense.

If Republicans scream that Obama should show his grade school transcripts, then what’s wrong with asking presidential nominees to show us their tax returns.
The only ones I can remember that refuse to show their tax returns were Bernie Sanders, mitt Romney, and Donald Trump, none of which are Democrats.

It’s true. After losing to the Republicans in 2016 the Democrats have employed a torch and burn approach. In fact here in Colorado they have disenfranchised every voter in the entire state. There is absolutely no reason I can think of for anybody in Colorado every casting a vote for president again.

Gov. Jared Polis signed a law Friday that would allot the state's electoral college votes to whichever candidate won the national popular vote. The Washington Post previously reported the law's signing.

Republican voters in California and Democrat voters in Alabama face the same thing.

The Electoral College favors smaller population states that tend be be Red.

Yeah, like Delaware, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, etc.

Oh, wait! Those are blue states! Nevermind!

Dumbass!

Have you noticed when Democrats are asked to show their tax returns, they say OK. And then show them.

When Republicans are asked to show their tax returns they freak out!

I’m guessing you have a point there besides the chance to call somebody a dirty name. Who knows what that point is? Maybe that was the point, to be able to call someone a dirty name.

I question whether such a move would be constitutional. Yes, the states have the power to regulate elections, which includes ballot access. However, this does not accomplish any legitimate interest in regulating ballot access. This only establishes a political test, with the effect of secretly creating an additional qualification for an elected federal office. And the states have no power to institute new or additional qualifications for elected federal offices.

How are financial record requirements political?

How are they not in light of the right to privacy?

All candidates have to provide them, not just Republican candidates, making it apolitical. Candidates filing for office already provide other financial documents, these would simply be in addition to those. Private, personal, information can be redacted.

To what purpose are you going to put people who want to serve into legal jeopardy from political hacks such as yourself?

In order for a law like this to be Constitutional, it would have to first prove that there is a pattern in the entire system of corruption that could be quelled if the information is released. In other words, there must be a reasonable reason to violate the rights of the citizens. I don't like him is NOT a reasonable standard.

It isn't even a law now, and already the concept of it is being abused by political hacks.

Candidates already file financial paperwork that is public information...and we manage to redact all the private information before it is made public. Tax returns would be treated no differently, but THIS particular change to rules has to be made at the Federal level....and it will be in the future, you can bank on it.

How will we know? Are you going to make bank records public also?

You mean like State Amendments to the State Constitution that sets marriage as a union between one man and one woman?

Or is it that States should be allowed to make their own rules when you happen to agree with it?

It seems as though the Republicans are saying that States don’t have that right.

They do not. Have a nice day!

Sure. A good rule to start with would be no congress members allowed to run unless they have been out of office for at least ten years.

"Tend" does not mean "all"

I'd guess about 3/4 of the lowest laf og the State by population are red states. So I thiknk these tend to be Red.

If we already know everything why won't Trump release them?

Know everything what? We don’t know anything. That’s why Democrats are trying to get financial records after Michael Cohen said Trump was a tax cheat and lied about his property values.

No, we are saying that the State has to show just cause for discrimination. Not liking someone is not 'just cause'. Wouldn't you agree?

Unless, of course, you don't mind disenfranchising voters when its someone you don't like.

Hmmm….

No. Now if the proposed rule said that Republicans wanting to seek office had to release their tax information…that would be discrimination. The proposed rule would apply to everyone. So it’s not a matter of discrimination.

except we know what they are *really* after. it's a stupid game of cat and mouse between the 2 and it's making us a bunch of collective idiots chasing our tails around as if it will get any of us anywhere at all.

i don't believe they have any legal recourse to get his taxes now and the constant WAH WE DEMAND is old. beyond old. it's friggin stupid. beyond that even. it's tantamount to being 2 years old and crying until you get your way. but - if they're wanting to change laws good luck. it will take more than a few states making demands but hey - follow the process, don't go around it, and good luck.

we're focused on all the wrong things these days and this is a poster child of proof of that.

I get it. All the candidates in the past that released their tax returns had nothing to hie. Your pal, Littledick Donnie, must & you are scared to dearth that they will how just how duped you were.
