2020 elections

[S.A. Boggs]

Some states are saying that if President Trump won't release his tax papers, they won't place him on the ballot and only place the Democrat on the ballot. That is not an election IMHO, same as doing away with the Electoral College. No election, Trump stays President it would appear.

Trump just has to follow the same rule as everyone else. That's a problem? You're deliberately misstating the situation.

Candidates are requiredto do exactly what to be on the ballot? Sincerely. bruce.

[Allen]

Illegal as hell. There is no requirement for a president or even a candidate to release his/hers tax information to the public.

Does anyone have Trump's birth certificate?

Zing! Seriously, a good one!

To the OP: nothing wrong with the voters of a state wanting to have more information in the public's hands about candidates who would be on the ballot in that state. States already set rules regarding ballot eligibility. This is just one more. No one is forcing someone to run in that state, nor would the rule be applied selectively. If a candidate feels that they cannot compete in that state anyways (e.g., Trump in CA), then they are free to omit themselves from the ballot and evade disclosure. I see zero problems here. Trump does not have a Constitutional Right to appear on every state ballot in his terms only. Shocking, I know.

It is really simple for the feds to state that unless the candidates [Democratic, Republican, Independent or others] are allowed by that state to be on the ballot, then all votes are void and will not be counted for President,

In Arkansas vs US Term Limits, the court ruled Arkansas' term limits for congressmen was unconstitutional because states cannot put any obstacle to getting on the ballot that is not in the Constitution.

Show me "Refusal to release income tax returns" is in the Constitution.

I want Pelosi to release her income tax since she seems to be running the country!

Page 26, Section 4 of the new Socialist Rule book. Only problem is that only the ruling elite has a copy and "they" are not sharing, not even redacted! The only way I know is that Togor is "renting" the book on a socialist website.

A tax return release rule may end up in court, but let's be honest for a moment if we dare, drop the "socialist" "blather", and admit that the only reason people don't like the rule is because it gets at a weakness of Trump's, which is that he has something that he really really really wants to keep hidden. If people can't even admit that much, then "they're" living in an "alternate" reality.

I have to agree, why give the National Socialist any help, why further their ambition of unsetting the President. Their hope to avoid prosecution is to install anyone who will keep their agenda and their further turning of America into a Socialist Utopia. I watched the opening of the Senate this morning into hearing with the AG. The good Senator Graham fired the first shot into the Socialist ship of deceit with the promise of getting to the bottom of the rotten apple cart. The AG is going to do the same, hopefully without the use of the FBI. Wonder what the IRS could find in an honest, Constitutional investigation of the Clinton's Foundation and the family finances? The Government got Al Capone on taxes, what could they find on Hillary? Can you imagine how the media would howl with a pre-dawn raid on their home? Maybe look into Pelosi, Schumer for good measure.

But the government WANTED to get Al Capone. The government -- the REAL, permanent, unelected government, wants to enthrone Hillary.
