What a coward! Nobody who's not part of the cult has any doubt about the fact that he's a traitor and if the "justice" system wasn't thoroughly broken, he'd be in a cell already.
The SoS just doesn't have the guts to do what's right and then deal with the consequences.
just wait another cycle and red states will be removing a democrat for some complete bullshit reason
True, but that doesn't mean that blue states shouldn't do it now for completely legit reasons.
If you don't do anything you fear the fascists might twist for their own nefarious ends, you can't ever do anything.
Hell, you can't even invent something stylish without it being co-opted by fascists. Hitler ruined the toothbrush mustache.
They already tried to cheat the last election then overturn it with violence, it's too late for protecting the rights feels to keep them from acting in bad faith.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Dr. Shirley Weber's office did not immediately issue a comment on her decision to include Trump after releasing the list of certified candidates on Thursday night.
She did not indicate if she would fulfill Kounalakis's request and said her decision would be guided by her office's "commitment to and respect for the rule of law."
"Removing a candidate from the ballot under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment is not something my office takes lightly and is not as simple as the requirement that a person be at least 35 years old to be president," Weber wrote.
The calls to strike the former president from the state's ballot came after Colorado's Supreme Court did the same thing, saying he violated the "insurrection clause," a Civil War-era provision of the U.S. Constitution.
"The U.S. Constitution does not tolerate an assault on the foundations of our government, and Section 336 requires me to act in response," Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, wrote in her decision.
"Given the compressed timeframe, the novel constitutional questions involved, the importance of this case, and impending ballot preparation deadlines, I will suspend the effect of my decision until the Superior Court rules on any appeal, or the time to appeal …has expired," Bellows added.
The original article contains 282 words, the summary contains 205 words. Saved 27%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Decent job by the bot but what’s missing is Bellows is Maine’s SoS who decided to remove Trump from that state’s primary ballot, pending a decision by the Maine Superior Court.
It's truly disappointing when the good guys want to "fight fair" against quite literally the 1 situation where the founders put a backup plan in case of massive corruption of the system.
