minus-squareRupeThereItIs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·11 months agoNope. Michigan primaries are run by the state like any other election. We have open primaries, anyone who’s registered to vote can vote in our primaries. My guess is Trump’s not been convicted of acts that would disqualify him. This was always a flimsy case, without a conviction that we should already have.
