It’s gonna pass. But who cares? There’s no way NJ elects Trump so this has just been an effing waste of taxpayer money.
Gonna be interesting to see them Dem tax returns....
Unconstitutional as it adds requirements for the office not found in the Constitution.
Dims can’t even figure out how a tax cut works (see crying about their tax refunds or now owing taxes) so how are they gonna figure out Trump’s tax returns once they get them (illegally of course like Cohen’s)?-)
[But who cares? Theres no way NJ elects Trump so this has just been an effing waste of taxpayer money.]
As a NJ resident, I care.
If Trump is not on the ballot, then whatever Repubs that are left won’t bother voting at all, guaranteeing all down-ballot races to be at risk for Democrats to win, including reliability consistant Republican cities and townships.
Unconstitutional. They cannot place additional qualifications beyond the Constitutional requirements.
Next they’ll make it illegal for a Republican to be on the ballot.
Perhaps. But I would imagine those showing up to vote for Trump would still do so and vote down ticket. Maybe not. Hell, if Trump weren’t on the ballot last time I’d have gone and voted for anyone else just not to vote for Hildebeast.
Does the state of New Jersey represent all of it’s citizens or just the ones that vote Democrat? This is insanity.
Since the election did not consider the candidates, the electors from New Jersey will be turned away from the gathering to count electoral votes.
They have legitimate concerns? Well, then..why stop with presidential and vice presidential candidates?
Red states should just pass a bill to award their EV to the GOP candidate regardless of election outcome.
From where I sit, I would call this voter suppression. In the real sense this time.
Yeah, I'm thinking 2020 might get REAL messy.
As in "if the Democrats win, they didn't really win, because a REAL Resistance is gonna form"...
#FakeElection
The NJ conservativeso better find DINOS to run in ‘Rat primaries.
Why that is not being done already all over the country is beyond me.
OMG - and they don’t see how this is going to backfire among Democrats? We already know they think they are above the law. Can you imagine the tax records of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders for starters? I think there was a point when DJT said he would release his tax records as soon as Hillary did.
It will be interesting to see exactly who is on the ballot. More likely they will just be boycotting the election in 2020.
Bingo! Again, wasting tax payer money as this is dragged into court.
They cannot place additional qualifications beyond the Constitutional requirements.
This wouldn’t be the first time that a democrat state kept a Republican off of the ballot. Lincoln wasn’t on the ballot of southern states in the election of 1860, so there is precedent for the move. Of course, in the long run, it didn’t work out for the southern states, so there’s that.
If NJ or another dem state wants to do this, let them it will show the country and the world how deranged, crooked and undemocratic the dems are. It’s not that DJT is likely to have a chance of winning those electoral votes anyway.
