“I will be asking the attorney general’s office for their input,” Secretary of State David Scanlan told the Globe. “And ultimately whatever is decided is probably going to require some judicial input.”
A debate among constitutional scholars over former president Donald Trump’s eligibility for the 2024 presidential race has reverberated through the public consciousness in recent weeks and reached the ears of New Hampshire’s top election official.
Secretary of State David Scanlan, who will oversee the first-in-the-nation presidential primary in just five months, said he’s received several letters lately that urge him to take action based on a legal theory that claims the Constitution empowers him to block Trump from the ballot.
Scanlan, a Republican, said he’s listening and will seek legal advice to ensure that his team thoroughly understands the arguments at play.
The good news is that the Trumpists are all a bunch of out-of-shape morons. The bad news is that the regular people don’t want to fight and aren’t prepared.
Where I am some are actually authentic career criminals. They have power. It’s fucked.
Cause they see themselves in Trump, a career criminal. That’s why his most ardent supporters are mostly people that normal people wouldn’t want to really associate with on a long term basis. His supporters are fucking gullible and insane to boot.
We shouldn’t want a fight
The American way is speak softly with a big stick. Only insane people want a fight but you don’t back down from a fight someone else started.
Perspective is everything here. Everyone thinks they are simply defending themselves.
That’s how the the people have been set up against each other here
You’re right, but unfortunately I think it’s going to come to that eventually.
