How can a nincompoop like Newsome have any say over Federal election ballots?

Newsome being his noisome self - doing what he is tasked to do. Destroy California and as much of the rest of the country as he can.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It’s our incredible state idiots, I mean legislatures. (stupid autocorrect lol). They are prizes for sure. Want one? This is a similar bill that our former, wonderful (two time winner!!) Gov Moonbeam vetoed. Trump’s legal team will argue it is unconstitutional which it is. Not to mention many of us will be disenfranchised. Here’s link to a Vox article, only because it says it clearer than I could explain.

This explanation by Tim Murtagh...

“The Constitution is clear on the qualifications for someone to serve as president and states cannot add additional requirements on their own,” the Trump campaign’s communications director, Tim Murtaugh, said in a statement. “The bill also violates the 1st Amendment right of association, since California can’t tell political parties which candidates their members can or cannot vote for in a primary election.”

“One catch: The law technically does not bar a candidate from appearing on the general election ballot in 2020. (So Trump could theoretically avoid disclosing them or fighting a court battle over the law by forsaking California’s delegates in an uncontested primary, knowing he’d still get the GOP’s nomination.)”
