    Trump’s Ballot Battle in New York: Legal Complexities and Democratic Hurdles Unveiled

    JimBy Updated: Whatfinger News 8 Mins Read

    State after state play these games. As of yet. not one Republican state has barred Biden from running for office. 

    Texas, Florida, other Republican states need to act now, just in case the Supreme Court is not there for American freedom once again. You never can tell, knowing the Chief Justice can make insane calls, and has. Seemingly doing as Obama wanted, like with Obamacare.  It makes one wonder if the Deep State got to him using illegal searches of his texts, phone calls and emails. That aside, if the Deep State pressures the Supreme Court with their games, where will Trump and American freedom be left if Republican states do not act now? Ron DeSantis spoke of doing so. So has Abbot of Texas. Now is the time to act. Ban Biden on charges of insurrection.  With Texas and Florida making this countermove, it will stop many more states from playing their games with our Republic.

    The upcoming decision by the New York State Board of Elections regarding Donald Trump’s potential appearance on the April 2 primary ballot is marked by complexities that Democrats may not fully grasp, according to a state elections expert. Joseph Burns, a Republican election attorney from New York, emphasized that the Board of Elections lacks the authority to assess qualifications like the 14th Amendment Section 3 or address issues such as a candidate filing a fraudulent petition. He emphasized that such determinations fall within the purview of the court system rather than the Board of Elections, which serves as a ministerial body.

    Oh boy, the Democrats are at it again, trying to find new and creative ways to keep Donald Trump off the ballot. Because clearly, they’re so afraid of facing him in a fair election that they’re willing to try anything, no matter how ridiculous it may be.  It’s like they’re saying, “Hey, we know we can’t win on the issues, so let’s just try to disqualify our opponent. That’s the American way, right?”  And of course, they’re going to run into all sorts of legal obstacles because, let’s face it, this plan is about as well thought-out as a toddler’s plan to build a rocket ship- Joe

    Scheduled for February 6, the decision will determine whether Trump, facing opposition from Democrats who allege he incited the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach, will be allowed on the ballot. Despite nationwide legal efforts by Democrats to remove Trump from state ballots, Burns pointed out that New York’s case presents distinct challenges for the party.

    Burns outlined three pathways for presidential candidates to secure a spot on the New York Republican primary ballot: eligibility for presidential primary matching fund payments, filing a petition with signatures from 5,000 or 5% of enrolled Republican voters, or claiming recognition as a nationally known figure. According to Burns, the determination of a candidate’s national recognition does not involve evaluating qualifications like the 14th Amendment but is solely in the hands of the Republican commissioners on the Board of Elections.

    Highlighting a crucial detail in New York law, Burns stated that the decision to keep Trump on the ballot is the exclusive domain of the two Republican commissioners on the State Board of Elections, with no input from Democratic commissioners. This departs from the usual practice of the evenly split board requiring agreement from both parties’ commissioners to proceed with any decision or agenda.

    Burns emphasized that if Democrats aim to challenge Trump’s presence on the ballot, they must resort to the courts. The legal process would allow them to present evidence and build a case, but Burns noted that standing in state court is limited, primarily extending to individuals who filed objections for opposing candidates.

    In response to Democrats’ calls for Trump’s removal, Burns found it amusing, asserting that Democrats likely lack standing to file objections or lawsuits for Trump’s removal. He speculated that it would be unlikely for any of Trump’s rivals to take legal action, and any potential objector would need to be a party member.

    Jason Weingartner, the executive director of the New York Republican State Committee, echoed this sentiment, asserting that the Board of Elections is not a court of law and lacks the authority to determine insurrectionist claims. He emphasized that such determinations should occur in a court of law with a factual finding.

    The New York GOP spokesperson, David Laska, criticized Democrats for attempting to remove Trump from the ballot, accusing them of undermining the democratic process and suggesting that voters should be the ones to decide.

    Meanwhile, other states, including Colorado and Maine, have faced legal battles over Trump’s ballot inclusion. The Colorado Supreme Court recently ruled against Trump, barring him from the ballot, citing his alleged role in inciting violence on January 6, 2021. Trump has appealed this decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, with the case set to be heard next month. Maine has also barred Trump from the ballot, prompting an appeal in state court. Similar efforts are underway in states like Illinois, Oregon, and Massachusetts to remove Trump’s name.

    Burns believes that the New York case might find resolution following the Supreme Court’s decision on the Colorado case, anticipating that the matter could be resolved before anyone in New York seeks Trump’s removal from the ballot.

    Major Points Discussed:

    • The New York State Board of Elections is set to decide on February 6 whether Donald Trump will be on the April 2 primary ballot, as Democrats seek his removal, alleging his role in the Capitol breach on January 6, 2021.
    • New York Republican election attorney Joseph Burns emphasizes that the Board of Elections lacks the authority to assess qualifications like the 14th Amendment, leaving such determinations to the court system.
    • Three ways for candidates to secure a spot on the New York Republican primary ballot include eligibility for presidential primary matching fund payments, filing a petition with signatures, or claiming recognition as a nationally known figure.
    • The decision to keep Trump on the ballot rests solely with the two Republican commissioners on the State Board of Elections, as per New York law, breaking from the usual practice of requiring agreement from both parties’ commissioners.
    • Legal challenges by Democrats to remove Trump from the ballot would need to be pursued in court, as standing in state court is limited, primarily extending to individuals who filed objections for opposing candidates.
