Activists want to disqualify Trump from ballot in key states under 14th Amendment - eviltoast

Two civil rights organizations are launching a campaign to pressure state governments to disqualify former President Trump from appearing on ballots in 2024.

The groups say secretaries of state are empowered by the 14th amendment to bar Trump from running for office because of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection.

Starting Sunday, Mi Familia Vota and Free Speech for People will stage a week of rallies and banner drops outside the offices of the secretaries of state of California, Oregon, Colorado and Georgia.

    You’re 100% correct. One of the goals of this community is for members to see all sides of politics, not agree with them, but to be exposed to it for better understanding. Now there is a lot of evidence against Trump in this matter and it’s tough to temper your personal bias towards him. That said he hasn’t been convicted yet.
