Hurry the fuck up and get him out. Disqualify him.
The fact that he convinced election officials in seven states by a phone call he was a part of to mail in forged elector certificates that falsely claimed he won the election?
I feel like that’s more damning than anything else , that that’s more of a reason to bar him from election, since he very clearly committed election fraud and organized a conspiracy to commit election fraud.
Okay, thanks for nothing Illinois elections officer.
- cites “absolutely damning” evidence
- this ironclad evidence is a tweet, already available to everyone. it is not new in any way.
- also says the elections board shouldn’t be allowed to remove trump from the ballot, insisting that it be litigated.
K
Republicans gonna repub.
But the officer, retired Republican judge Clark Erickson, determined that the elections board has no power to remove Trump from the ballot, and should therefore drop the case, saying that the the issue must be decided in the courts.
I suppose either way, it will be decided by the courts.

A Republican who believes a regulatory board has no power? Gee, what a novelty!
Clickbait garbage.
The only way Trump is going to win Illinois is if the Democratic Party is removed from the Presidential ballot.
Not even then, I don’t think. I’d sooner write-in Vermin Supreme, as would most people in Chicago. Luckily (?), the city is the reason why Illinois is blue. Go an hour away in any direction and you’re in enemy territory - but an entire town out there has fewer people in it than there are people living on my block. So, it works out.
You hear that, mom? Go fuck yourself.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermin_Supreme#2020:
Supreme ran again for president in 2020, this time as a Libertarian. This marked the first time that Supreme ran a “legitimate” campaign, focusing on real rather than satirical issues and using the slogan “In On The Joke”. While Supreme continued to use satirical humor, he focused more on legitimate political issues. He called for ending foreign wars and voiced support for pardoning non-violent drug offenders, ending the war on drugs, and reducing incarceration, which he called his top priority. On the COVID-19 pandemic, Supreme criticized President Donald Trump, arguing that he should have paid better attention to the virus and have made testing more widely available. He satirically promised to make COVID-19 illegal and, in a play on his campaign promise to go back in time and “kill baby Hitler,” vowed to go back in time and “kill baby COVID.” He facetiously pledged to create “COVID-19 free zones” because “they work so well for things like guns and drugs.”
Legitimately a better choice than Biden, let alone Trump. (Aside from the third-party-spoiler-effect, of course. He’s apparently running as a Democrat this year, so luckily we don’t have to worry about that this time.)
I didn’t see mention of any new evidence, just that his opinion was the existing evidence was “absolutely damning”.
There’s really no point ruling one way or another until the Supreme Court has it’s say.
