Consider this question carefully: “What possible stakes could be so high the DC UniParty would be willing to prove, beyond any doubt, that the ability of Americans to vote their way out of any problem no longer exists?”
This is the question which should underpin the stories you are hearing and reading about various secretaries of state beginning to structure election rules to disqualify President Trump from ballot access.
Why are state governments willing to prove to Americans that voting will not be the method to retain a constitutional republic?
My elevator encapsulated short answer…. This is the fundamental change, Barack Obama promised to deliver.
(Via NBC) – Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said Tuesday that his office is figuring out how to handle potential complaints over whether former President Donald Trump should be disqualified from appearing on the 2024 ballot.
The issue centers on the 14th Amendment, which prohibits people who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding public office. Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson raised the theory at last week’s GOP presidential debate that Trump’s conduct on Jan. 6, 2021, might disqualify him on those grounds — a theory that has gained traction among some legal scholars, though others discount the possibility.
Now, the people running state elections are trying to figure out what to do if people bring legal challenges against Trump.
“We have to have a final certification of eligible candidates [for the primary ballot] by Dec. 14 for Arizona’s presidential preference election,” Fontes, a Democrat elected last year, told NBC News. “And because this will ultimately end up in court, we are taking this very seriously.”
New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan is dealing with the same question as he watches a potential challenge to Trump brewing in his state. There, a Republican former Trump ally is considering bringing a 14th Amendment challenge against him. (read more)
There is much that can be said about the deteriorating conditions of our nation and also about the goblins even now scheming to retain control. However, it was Solzhenitsyn who boiled everything down to “We forgot God” and that’s why Russia has passed into a vortex of evil.
Our Constitutional Republic was founded on eternally existing Reality, meaning the Triune God of Life Whose Truth is Immutable and His Moral Law absolute and unchanging. He created man in His image, meaning we are souls embedded within physical matter. Our souls are the true source of our personhood. Thus we are people because of our inner thinking, reasoning person, not our brains and bodies. This means that our unalienable rights, beginning with the most important…life… are spiritual.
But long ago Americans allowed Darwinism to supplant the Genesis account, thereby supplanting the God of Life and creation. Darwinism is an upside-down gnostic pagan (materialist) exegesis that speaks of everything beginning in the down in the void. This means we are no longer God’s created image bearers with unalienable rights but aggregates of matter in process of evolution without any rights.
Both Soviet Union and Hitler’s Socialism murdered millions of useless eaters under the banner of Darwinian ‘science.’ Our own goblins are Darwinian materialists, so when they look upon us it is with contempt and hatred because Darwinism allows them to believe they are highly evolved while we are nothing but expendable subhumans.
Godless Goblins have been riding God’s people with spurs and whips, impoverishing us spiritually, mentally, and physically. If we are to throw them down we must oppose them and their satanic exegesis with our voices crying out: We want Jesus Christ (Gen. 1; John 1).!
IDK…seems pretty far gone when Putin makes more sense lately than anyone Democrat.
Putin is no saint. But he knows that the violent overthrow of Orthodox Christian Russia was financed and empowered by Western and American bankers, corporatists (ie, Rockefeller), Wall Street, and other powerful adherents. Thus he knows it was at the behest of these Western monsters working through Bolsheviks and later Marxists, that Russians were subjected to what the Black Book of Communism describes as crimes against humanity committed by criminal regimes in both Soviet Union and Hitler’s Socialist regime.
Almost every evil committed by our goblin masters, ranging from demonization of the middle class, the perversion of our children, the deliberate ‘dumbing down’ of our people, the destruction of the family, the dividing of Americans against each other, abortion as a right, elevation of LGBTQ+ over straight men and women, and so on took place in the Soviet Union, then was brought here by godless goblins and applied to our people.
Putin surely knows this, just as he knows he worked for the goblins during the Soviet years. The lessons he learned were hard, and he appears to truly desire to protect his people from the machinations of the evil West.
Nonsense.
I believe that western media propaganda fed us what they wanted us to think about Vladimir Putin.
In the 1960s there was a big media campaign to demonize the John Birch Society as a communist organization.
In fact, the opposite has been true since their inception. They support and defend the U.S Constitution. They are completely against one world government and a New World Order. Remember their bumper stickers: Get US OUT of the UN!
Unfortunately the media had success. And many believed Birchers were communists. Some still do to this day.
Always remember, especially now: what the western media and the current installed D.C. regime tell you is the OPPOSITE of the truth.
Vladimir Putin does make sense. He cares about his country, its heritage, and its people. He supports and protects Christianity.
He cares about the physical upkeep of the country, to keep up the spirits of the citizens.
Have you been to St. Petersburg or Moscow?
Beautiful, clean cities with wonderful parks, well-preserved historical buildings, historical statues.
I have not been to the two cities, but saw many parts of them in The Duran’s Alex Christoforou’s news videos in July.
Oh! and the sparkling subway stations are works of art.
just another chapter out of the Bible.
There is nothing new under the sun.
“They” don’t think God exists because “they” believe “they” are gods.
Yes, you are right. And we won’t get any further unless we first start with prayer.
complete nonsense.
Don’t neglect a mention of fellow Darwinist, Margaret Sanger.
Amen! When we ‘pushed’ God out of our schools and out of our lives, it took a few generations to go fromGod fearing to godless.
Would not all write-in candidate ballots need to be hand counted? Why don’t we write him in if he is on the ballot or not?
First of all, many states (like Texas) don’t have a place to write in a candidate. Secondly, do you really think they’re going to count or allow write-in candidates when they’re working this hard to eliminate the favorite that they don’t like (Trump)?
To answer my own question, OF COURSE NOT! Let’s be realistic about how to fix this, shall we?
Also no write-in in Hawaii. There is however provision for a petition candidate.
Lock Everyone Involved with the Globalist and Politicians and Elites and 3 Lettered Agencies Committing CRIME’S AGAINST HUMANITY TREASONOUS AND TYRANNICAL CRIME’S AGAINST WE THE PEOPLE FROM OUR OWN CORRUPT GLOBALIST AND POLITICIAN’S
in oklahoma…if you write in a candidate…your ballot is not counted…it gets tossed out.
He’s Innocent They Tried 2 Other times Now their trying to do everything they can Corrupt to make it LIKE IT’S ON TRUMP BUT IN REALITY THE GLOBALIST AND POLITICIAN’S ARE COMMITTING CRIME’S AGAINST HUMANITY RIGHT IN FRONT OF WE THE PEOPLE’S FACES SMFH TRAITOR’S 🤬😡🤬
In my Dominion-machine-mandated state of Georgia, it is often not possible to write in a candidate’s name for any office in any election.
How can anyone challenge write in ballots if it’s the “will of the people?”
A BILLION PERCENT 💪🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪🇺🇸
A BILLION PERCENT AMERICAN VETERAN MAGA AND PATRIOT PROUD UNITED WE STAND 💪🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪🇺🇸
They can leave President Trump on the ballots but just not count his votes. It’s that simple. They can transfer all or some of his votes to Delusional Joe as soon as they are input. You just need a machine with secret codes to do all this. Got any?
Kinda just like they did in 2020.
If this is what they are going to do, THEN MAKE THEM DO IT.
It shouldn’t change anything about what we are doing.
I agree with what Tim Pool says, which is that we should be putting enormous pressure on all the also-ran loser Republican candidates to drop out of the race and put all of their support behind Trump.
Pool’s reasoning is that it is the PRESENCE of the other candidates that gives cover to all these lawfare indictments against Trump and now the moves to take Trump off the ballot.
If Trump were the only candidate in the race, then these machinations would be rightly seen as attempts by the Democrats to eliminate any Republican candidate from the presidential race so that their candidate can run unopposed.
“then these machinations would be rightly seen as attempts by the Democrats to eliminate any Republican candidate from the presidential race so that their candidate can run unopposed.”
Kind of like Obama did in his one and only Senate race.
Glad to see that someone else remembers that bit of theft-craft.
Trump will never be the only candidate in the Republican race as long as the party is infested with globalists. They will find someone to run against him even if that person has ZERO chance.
“Pool’s reasoning is that it is the PRESENCE of the other candidates that gives cover to all these lawfare indictments against Trump and now the moves to take Trump off the ballot.”
This is a very astute point.
The UniParty Kabuki Theater Company will never allow that to happen. They still feel they must keep up appearances that there are actual elections in the US. Once they disarm the country, all bets are off.
Even in the bluest State, I imagine there would be serious legal pushback if a SoS attempted to pull this off.
Are you sure about that the Republican’s are a lot of talk and no go.
““We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” Barack Obama
Was this statement Declaration of War against U.S.?
Yes.
As insurrectionists always intend…an insurgency turning a people on and against each other. Think the Philippines at the turn of the last century where and when the U.S. military refined this dirty art. The Philippine Constabulary rose to prominence and today the pundits call the phenomenon a color revolution
Recall the other quote from the same time period from The One:
“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for!”
Unfortunately, if you ask any American on the street what the 14th Amendment is, maybe 1 in 1000 will have a clue. There are 5 sections. Section 3 is the relevant one, to wit:
”No person shall be a Senator or Representative of Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. ….”
This is no more applicable than chicken soup is for a snake bite.
“who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of any STATE LEGISLATURE, or as an executive or judicial officer of ANY STATE, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, …”
You are 100% correct. The Lawfairies rely on ignorance and illiteracy, since reading the 14th Amendment reveals their scam.
Setting aside any controvertible arguments, their recourse to the 14th A collapses on two simple facts: Trump has never been a member of any State Legislature; and Trump has never been an Officer of any State. This part of the 14th A does not apply to him, period.
Trump needs to have surrogates and lawyers point this out and shame the proponents as frauds, without delay.
I’ve thought about this a bit. The “engaged in insurrection” part may be why these various states are so eager to post these dubious charges against President Trump. They need just one State to convict and the game is up.
It seems to me that “due process” needs to be observed in this matter. A conviction in a podunk jurisdiction, or even a cosmopolitan one that is overwhelmingly populated with those decidedly not a “jury of your peers”, would be illegitimate and call for a change of venue or appeal to a higher court. But, as I’ve mentioned before, the deep state doesn’t care about a lawful conviction. Conviction in a lower court that they know will ultimately be thrown out after the election will give them the talking points basis they want to argue Trump’s alleged illegitimacy and confuse voters to vote for someone else.
Does not apply to the President. Only to the offices listed.
The SCOTUS has already ruled on this issue when the Communist Eugene V Debbs was being kept off the ballot while he was in prison. The SCOTUS said Debbs had to be on the ballot since he met the Constitutional Guidelines.
I wonder if the word insurrection will be fought over like Clinton’s what “it” is?
Clever bit of editing you did there. Let’s try reading the actual amendment, shall we?
Trump never engaged in any insurrection and everyone knows it. He asked for a review of the ballots that were suspected to be fraudulent before electoral votes were certified, as is any candidates right. He is clearly on video urging the people at his rally on J6 to protest peacefully. Anyone who watched the J6 Hearings on CSPAN and knows anything at all about proper judicial due process saw the Democrats toss the US Constitution out the window. It was a joke. They will do the same for Trump’s upcoming trials. It is is good they’ve decided to livestream these so everyone can see for themselves what crooks these people are. Just like they disallowed exonerating video footage, evidence, witnesses, and cross-examination at all Trump’s Impeachment hearings, they will do the same at the upcoming trials. The favorite trick of the crooked judges the DemonRats shop for is to disallow evidence be shown to the jury. We’ve seen that in San Fransicko when a serial-criminal illegal alien (arrested & deported many times) was up for shooting and killing a young college girl in cold blood on one of the piers on the Embarcadero one Sunday afternoon as she sat with her father. (A prime tourist spot that used to be very safe BTW) He got off scot free.
The rule of law in America is over. The best solution is civil dissolution.

If the SOS’s remove someone from the ballot that wins the presidential primary how is the removing not an insurrection?
Constitution gives state legislatures the power of appointment of electors. If a state legislatures gives the authority to an SoS, then that’s legal. And if they pass “emergency powers” laws that allows Gov to unilaterally allow things like mail-in, that’s on the legislature.
Proves to me that this ability has not really existed for some time.
We forgot God. And he will not be mocked……..repent or perish.
So many correlations between obama /deep state, and Mussolini / fascist party.
i will write him in on ballot
“Come on in you Fvckers…”
Treepers, take comfort in this: IF the establishment could truly control the outcome of elections they wouldn’t be panicking and pulling out all the stops to block President Trump 2024.
They can influence the outcome of elections but their ability to do so is limited even with industrial scale fraud using VBM.
There’s a real chance Trump wins despite the cheating and election interference
No, they will cheat to a ridiculously obvious degree if that’s what it takes. With their control of the media they can explain it all way just good enough for most of the sheep.
True – they already did that in 2020. It was so egregious, they put you in jail simply for pointing out the obvious. BUT – this time President Trump is not going to forfeit the mail-in vote game. At a minimum it will deny the Democrats knowledge of exactly how many votes are needed, and where.
Or they can have the machines give any Trump vote to Biden. They did it last time with regular votes (in a percentage form). Just a realistic thought.
The problem is they don’t need to worry about time frames in the states they need. They simply count the votes and discard the votes they don’t like or bring in ballets that have been fraudulently pre filled out or a combination of both. Their is no longer a time limit. The fraudsters are allowed to take days, weeks or even months to “count” the votes.
I suspect, but have never heard specifically, that the electronic vote machine count is determined and concluded on election night. Then, the actual ballets are manufactured or destroyed as needed to make their numbers come out. In other cases U.S. Postal Service employees were caught dumping and destroying votes gathered from drop boxes in areas likely to have many Republican ballets. Of course that was never proved to the satisfaction of the powers that be in the dem controlled areas.
Or, as in the case of Arizona, they just shut down the polling places in Republican areas. They have many ways to cheat and they are very good at it. As usual the Republicans look on with their Gomer Pile expressions and do nothing.
right, as long as people are still incredibly stupid, all is well for the evil cabal
They’ve already gotten away with so much, which just eggs them on. No matter how often a few Republicans or Newsmax talking heads scream on the tube or youtube or anywhere else, the plain fact is that they keep getting away with it.
The socialists are desperate to get PDJT out of the race because they know they need to jettison Biden, and SOON. They believe the polling that shows Biden can beat PDJT. All these polls that show Biden beating PDJT in certain states are wishful thinking at best and are likely “massaged” and “nuanced.” It’s remarkable that their bench behind a demented old man is so shallow.
The uniparty RINOs are more than happy to be their accomplices.
In addition to the ongoing lawfare campaign, they’re trying to obstruct PDJTs path to reelection with the 14th Amendment. I don’t know if they’ll succeed or not – I’ve read arguments on both sides, but I’m not a constitutional scholar. What I think the play is, they’ll use that argument in states with friendly federal judges and slowroll the cases all the way through appeals. SCOTUS has already shown their unwillingness to go to bat for PDJT, so I don’t see them taking the case on some technicality or other.
There are trillions at stake.
We should be flooding the zone with propaganda and misinformation that Biden seems totally fine and appears to be in tip top shape.
I beg to differ. Gavin Newsom will be the party nominee, not Biden, in any fantasy context of him being able to do anything on a campaign trail next year.
This effort is the reason for the order that the lawfare attacks have been planned. Also, Understand the objective of each trial.
[Note: Creation of MSM and Uni-Party Sound bites and Diversion of President Trumps Resources are given secondary objectives.]
Jan 6 Insurrection Trial in DC – Support 14th Amendment efforts + felony conviction
Atlanta Fulton County Election Trial in DC – Support 14th Amendment efforts + felony conviction
FLA Fed Documents Case – very very weak Support of 14th Amendment efforts + felony conviction
The trials are necessary to support cases in Federal Courts as well as give Fed Judges cover to support … Democrat States + “Independent” Lawyers or a few RINO in Republican States will be the first to act in order to save the RNC the embarrassing effort to “disqualify” President Trump as a RNC candidate.
If the State Efforts fail …. The last resort will be the RNC changing rules to disqualify President Trump as one of “their” candidates.
Given the vote distribution in graphics shown by Sundance and IF one or both the actions above come to pass, don’t be surprised if the RNC Ticket has to be “appointed” at the convention, which will have interest ratings lower than a CNN Town Hall show hosted by Rachel Maddow.
Trump has planned for that, I’m sure. He’s running for the R nomination, but if they kick him out next Spring, he can run as a 3rd party. There’s sufficient time for that. Perot got 19%, and Trump would far exceed that, with many independent voters coming over.
And if he’s 3rd party, he’ll go mideval on the Uniparty in the campaign. They fear that most. Right now, he’s being a pussycat, but if he’s unleashed? Plus he gets his own pick as VP, not another mole, so they wouldn’t dare impeach him, which they would.
Yeah they’re screwed unless they get him off the state primary ballots somehow.
What part of the fact the RNC wing of the Uni-Party does not care if President Trump goes 3rd Party, did you miss??
By the way if the States succeed, he is NOT on any ballots … and/or if the RNC disqualifies him late enough he has no time nor ground support to get onto any ballots
President Trump going third party would suit them fine as they can easily write off the White House and negotiate their share of congressional seats.
Even in a King Maker role … President Trump will be endorsing or defeating RNC candidates. A win-win for the RNC … while NOT being a serious contender for President. If he drops out completely … its total victory.
But the Uniparty does care if Trump runs 3rd party. They don’t want that, because it’s max risk to them. They want to kill him long before that. But the clock is running and they’re failing.
They just don’t want to be seen as throwing him out, if he does run 3rd party. And he wants it to happen only if they do so.
If Trump wins the R primary, then the Uniparty has failed to remove him from state ballots, by definition. They would be forced to defy the voters and exclude him from the general, thus boosting his 3rd party run. That’s what he wants in his pocket when he goes 3rd party.
The congressional elections wouldn’t follow your dusty old formulation, if Trump runs 3rd party. Trump will attack the Uniparty savagely, all of it. This forces all vulnerable Uniparty candidates to make a choice. MAGA voters won’t vote a straight ticket, and neither will independent voters. I’d expect far less than the usual 90% incumbent win rate, with a 3rd party run. More turnover is not what the Uniparty wants.
Part of a Trump 3rd party run would be an Operation Chaos to ensure that no republican anywhere wins any down ballot election.
The GOP taking out Trump = We burn down the GOP.
The RNC, Duck lips Ronna and her ilk don’t have the balls to formerly remove Trump. They will simply do nothing because it’s easy because it’s no different from before.
If Trump is knocked off the ballot, MAGA nation will blame (and punish) the Republican Party REGARDLESS of whether they were actually involved in it.
I’ve been trying to write a comment for hours, as soon as I type the page flips me out into an ad, waiting to see if this goes through
Plainly after this experience this morning, I can see that the left is going bonkers on everything, it’s going to get worse I have to assume. THIS ARTICLE is fabulous, thanks so much, many are reading it on GAB;-)
WE THE PEOPLE cannot allow this to happen, it’s already out of hand, but trying to enforce laws that don’t exist sounds like the last election with all it’s crooked insanity.
The late Rush Limbaugh stated many times The Club wanted to eliminate voting if they can’t control it.
and the charge is led by a so called republican
enough said?
Adrian Fontes is despicable and has been since the first time that I read of him and his antics in Maricopa County and Arizona state elections. This dude is losing sleep every night trying to find ways to continue the AZ cheat.
They removed him once while he was IN power. Removing him a second time while OUT should be really easy unless the people rise up.
All I know is if Democrats put Trump in jail, I’m walking through fire on a walk strewn with glass shards to vote for him.
How are you going to do that if he’s not on the ballot and you can’t write him in?
Wondering if this isn’t just another way of making voters believe that their votes actually count. Does Hutchinson believe that if he can get President Trump off the ballot, he might actually get a vote or two? What a joke. If you can’t beat the fastest, then get the best runner out of the race. I’m sick of them all.
Any move by Republicans to remove Trump from ballots will probably destroy the current Party. People can always write in Trump’s name on their ballot, which will force the system to deal with the issue.
President Trump had the right and DUTY to explore/investigate suspicions of Election/Voter Fraud.
For all those who keep saying ‘there was no fraud in the 2020 election’ here is the EVIDENCE!
2020 & 2022 Election Fraud Evidence – Election Fraud Evidence Project (electionevidence.com)
The dastardly thing is, we have no Governors, AGs, DAs, judges, Republican Party, etc to even take up those cases.
Trump is the only one fighting for us and the soul of our Nation.
I will proudly write in Donald John Trump on my ballot! It will kill the Republican Party if all of MAGA does the same!
If Trump doesn’t win, only God can save us!
I hate all of these people. With a passion!
“What possible stakes could be so high the DC UniParty would be willing to prove, beyond any doubt, that the ability of Americans to vote their way out of any problem no longer exists?”
The answer – as it always has been and always will be – is money.
The SYSTEM (controlled by the western central banks) that they are desperately trying to protect from the voters – is bankrupt. BRICS nations see it and have seen it for awhile. Nations of the EU are waking up and rebelling against their puppet governments. The U.S.A. is the last bulwark holding up the ruling class’ dominant control through money. If we do not accept CBDC’s, as is almost assured the majority of voters will not, then a LOT of extreme wealth (only on paper) vaporizes that doesn’t exist in hard assets.
Trump threatens the Establishment’s House of Cards, held up only by the Deep State, where the Deep State has controlled the population through decades of hard propaganda that has become visibly false so that too many are now seeing right through to the truth.
DC’s century+ old grift of taxpayers hard-earned money is threatened by Trump, and that includes Wall Street’s (think Blackrock, Vanguard et al) grift as well, and London’s and Brussels’ grift. The Bilderbergs and Davos elites will be stripped of their global dominating control if the U.S. stops supplying the lion’s share of wealth to their coffers.
The corrupt globalists know that Trump threatens their marbles…the coming election will be for all the marbles if he’s a candidate.
Agree!!! I believe that could be one of the most frightening statements Sundance has ever made! JMO. There are many Treepers here who have warned that we can’t vote our way out of this deep state tyranny we are in! Difficult, dangerous days ahead for President Trump, those who are MAGA and America Firsters, conservatives and Christians!!! God help us!!! Hosanna!!!
Amen!
Pray daily, giving repentance for our sins, and asking for His grace , wisdom, and protection. Pray for His Archangel Michael’s protection for our political leader President Trump & his family, while protecting the hundreds of men illegally imprisoned for false accusations of criminality on January 6, 2021. Pray for wisdom for leaders in Washington that opens their eyes to the corruption in which they’ve been engaged..
And get involved as much as possible in local and state election planning and control….
Thank you, GB. All signal; not noise.
👍
I have the Right to vote or, write in anyone I so choose! Every state long ago agreed to the Constitution and Bill of Rights of every person.
Since the 2nd coming of Christ hasn’t happened yet. Nobody including any government official being local, state, or federal hasn’t the Right or, legal footing, too cancel another person’s Right’s.
Any attempt to do so is null & void, a non-starter. Lowest level judges should absolutely have enough brain cells to bounce 95% of the color-laws used against citizens. They are to lie & trick you into giving them your consent by roos or, deceit.
It really isn’t that hard folks, the Paperwork for US was written in plain English. The color laws and attempts by states to circumvent our founding should be considered Treason & dealt with swiftly!
That’s what the whole point of the impeachments were for – to showcase the new power of the burueacracy and them making it clear that they can neutralize a democratically elected president if they don’t like him. It’s only gonna get worse.
it’ll be the key swing states…trying to block his path to 270.
The CRIMINAL judicial system has become a corrupt mess of ROGUE judges who DO NOT UPHOLD the Constitution. There must be laws to DISBARR and REMOVE them. America is on the brink of communism by the JUDICIARY!
National Strike, tell you friends.
Yep… BO says…”either submit or we kill you”
Some of the arguments being used by those pursuing this is that neither a charge of insurrection nor a conviction is required. (and no one has been charged or convicted of such wrt the Jan 6 riot)
If neither a charge nor conviction is required, then we should be petitioning for Biden’s removal from the ballot for his participation in the Jan 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting where a conspiracy to defraud the American public/US government using false documents (false FISA filings) for the purposes of interfering with the business of the US in what amounts to a soft coup attempt – which was a far more successful attempt at insurrection than anything that happened on Jan 6, 2021.
Albert Schmidt is an American politician and election official who is the current Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, serving since 2023. He was a Philadelphia City Commissioner from 2012 to 2022.
A member of the Republican Party, Schmidt refused to cooperate with efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, which led him to be publicly attacked by then-President Donald Trump on Twitter.[1][2] Schmidt provided testimony before the January 6 Committee in 2022.[3] He was chosen to serve as acting Secretary of the Commonwealth by Governor Josh Shapiro.[4]
Can I get another hole punched on my ‘I’m not surprised’ card?
I made this meme Sept 10th 2020. This path has been apparent for almost 3 years now.
Not a surprise. This move was totally predictable.
Purposely eliminating the opposition from the ballot by those attempting to protect and preserve a corrupt federal government is an actual attempt to eliminate we the people as the Constitutionally delegated empowered arbitrators responsible for the ultimate oversight of our government and leaders thereof.
I recall learning years ago that George Soros had a program or effort to install socialist soldiers into the Secretary of State position in each state in the union.
The goal was to be in control of elections.
Does anyone else remember this?
The quotes seem to refer to “primary ballots”. I don’t know the specific laws authorizing a Presidential primary, but assume the intent is to “bind” the vote of delegates to a national party convention. So nothing about “holding” an office. It seems to me a matter for the national convention and the RNC rules committee which as Sundance reminds us is a private organization (he says “club” or “corporation”). Now of course it could be that the RNC uses this as a tool to prevent delegates from voting for Trump. IMO that would pretty much end the party. I don’t see how it could recover from that. In my state current law is that the national party “certifies” its nominee. Party electors are then named by the parties in state convention who must sign oaths to vote for that named candidate. Separately the certified nominee’s name and party are written on the Nov ballot. There is provision for requesting a name be removed from the ballot, but as a non-lawyer I don’t see how that affects the electors’ pledges. Current law subjects an objection to a candidate to what’s called a “contested case hearing”, more or less an administrative court-like approach.
