Two far-left ‘civil rights’ organizations are campaigning to pressure state governments to disqualify former President Trump from appearing on ballots in 2024.
Mi Familia Vota, an open borders group, and Free Speech for People absurdly claim secretaries of state are empowered by the 14th Amendment to bar Trump from running for office over the J6 riot. They are falsely calling the riot/rally an insurrection.
They plan a week of rallies and banner drops outside the offices of the secretaries of state of California, Oregon, Colorado, and Georgia.
They also wrote a letter to Nevada’s secretary of state, a Democrat, Cisco Aguilar.
“We’re really focusing on Nevada and California and [Oregon, Colorado, and Georgia] to make sure that they are taking a stand by disqualifying Trump in those spaces, which is something that the secretary of state can do,” said Héctor Sánchez, executive director of Mi Familia Vota.
The groups are calling their campaign “Trump is Disqualified” and are timing it to coincide with the 155th anniversary of the 14th Amendment.
This will involve endless lawsuits.
No one knows if they can do it or not.
Shouldn’t we all petition to have Biden’s name removed from the ballot under the 25th Amendment?
Absurdly, according to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), it’s unclear whether the clause bans people from being president — an office not explicitly mentioned in Section 3 — and whether the events of Jan. 6 rise to the level of “insurrection or rebellion against” the United States.
But at least one official in New Mexico, Couy Griffin, was removed from his position as elected county commissioner for his role in the attack [that wasn’t an attack, but a riot/rally].

There has to be RINOs in some states working to remove Trump from primary ballots. They despise Trump and the core conservatives. It takes actions inside the party to remove a candidate from primary ballots. If they can get Trump off the ballot in CA, NY, Penn, IL, Georgi, MIch, then DeSantis has a chance.
Apparently the Left is not entirely confident they will be able to come up with 80,000,000 absentee/dead/illegal/thin-air votes this time around. The endless ‘pseudo-prosecutions’ of Trump by Democrat state AG’s, and now this effort to keep Trump off the ballot entirely. There is no limit to what they will do to win.
They fear Trump that is all there is to it and they will go after him any way they can. Never in my life have I seen the dem/communists go after any one like they have Donald Trump they not only hate him they fear him because so many people like him immensely and Trump does what he says he… Read more »
Really? Wow! Of course, should’ve expected it. The left, rinos included, can’t beat Trump straight up, so keep him off the ballots. Yeah, sure, that’ll work. In their feeble little minds. Forgive them, for they know not what they do. I look at any and all opposition to Trump as anti-Constitutionalist and absolutely against the true American patriots of this… Read more »
You really wish to see rioting and insurrection? Go ahead and ban Trump from the ballot in leftist controlled states. You’ll get your wish.
You can’t ban your opponents simply because you can’t beat them.
Zelensky can in Ukraine
The far left ONLY appeals to the ‘ignorantly stupid’…
Unfortunately there are a lot of “ignorantly stupid” people in this country. All one has to do is spend a few minutes reading the comment sections of most online media when anything about firearms climate change Trump or J6 is discussed and you’ll see its an epidemic of mass proportions.
