California Lt. Governor: ‘Explore Every Legal Option’ To Remove Trump From Ballot

And the precedent set by Colorado begins.

if enough states remove him, he'll cause a big enough fuss that he'll get 1/3 of the damn vote from loons writing him in

So now that Colorado has done it, do there even need to be future lawsuits in any state to follow?

I imagine there might be a lawsuit challenging the state doing it, but thats different than having to prove it in the first place like in Colorado

Let's hope more states do it. Maybe it would send a message to the boomers about a potential Trump 2nd term.

Get 'em California! Isn't it true the California bar exam is the most difficult out of all 50 states?

you don't need every legal option. the law is clear as day, all we need to do is follow it and wait for the openly corrupt supreme court to decide that it doesn't count in this case because they'd rather it didn't.

why? he doesnt have a chance in hell of CA anyway, why spin your wheels?

i guess im curious which of these states might split their electoral votes

No matter what happens with Trump, the present GOP is planning to seize and consolidate power.

Meaningless, he’ll never carry California, but liberals are setting a precedent that I guarantee will be used against them later.

Not trying to be hyperbolic but states selectively choosing who is allowed to be voted on as opposed to having it run as intended can cause a justification for a second civil war. This shouldnt be allowed. I dont care how vile Trump is to you. There is no rule that it can be left to the states to withhold votes in a federal election.

We must save democracy by not letting people vote for him in a democratic election!

"In her letter, Kounalakis acknowledged there would be 'political punditry' about a potential decision to remove Trump from the primary ballot but said 'this is not a matter of political gamesmanship.' "

Bullshit.

Not only is this gamesmanship, it's foolish gamesmanship... Dems are gonna shoot themselves square in the foot with this shit.

If you do declare trump ineligible, what goes on the ballot? You gonna have one of them third world elections with just one name on it? No, you're gonna have trumps mini-me clone... Fucking desantis...

You got Colorado right now. That's not gonna have a huge impact on it's own. Those electoral votes were going to be bidens regardless, so it's something the GOP can, and likely will, completely ignore. In terms of the gamesmanship, all thatx happened is Colorado having made a statement.

If California joins them, it's just as irrelevant (California's electorals also belong to Biden), however, it's now doubled as a statement. It's twice as loud, and half as ignorable.

The real danger is that a state that matters jumps on the bandwagon. Notably Arizona... If a state that has the capability to determine the outcome opts to bar trump, the GOP will drop him and run desantis in 50 states. You'll have every single red state supporting fucking desantis, and the potential to pull "martyr" votes in the battleground states for fucking desantis.

If you had to choose trump or desantis, would you go with desantis? That answer should definitely be no, because a lot of the shit cited as being what's wrong with trump is more attributable to desantis than to trump himself.

Dems are playing with fire with this bullshit, and saying it ain't gamesmanship is as valid in my opinion as trump saying he wasn't responsible for the rioting. Possible, but I got some doubts :)

I'm surprised this had to be said. 6 days before the balots are ordered.
