Opinion: Trump Removed from Ballot, in Maine
Booting Trump From The Ballot
Maga Republicans are about done getting ready the Sharpies they’ll need, to scrawl a flood of write-in protest votes for Donald Trump, should his name fail to appear on the ballot, unless, of course, SCOTUS slaps the 3rd Clause of the 14th Amendment back into the middle ages, in a 9–0 vote that would force his name to appear printed on said ballots.
Support for Trump remains particularly high among Second Amendment die-hards who now hate the 14th Amendment and hope to also argue against States’ rights to run elections, as well as the constitutional mandate bestowed upon some Secretaries of State, to summarily decide who can and can’t be included in their States’ ballot.
Granted, Trump has amply proven his brag that there’s nothing he can do to lose the loyalty of his base — Weren’t we all thoroughly entertained!— but at some point, we had to stop and think about what becomes the role of the citizenry in all this.
