Unprecedented refusal? Srsly? Show us the requirement. Then again this was taken from the "London Independent" so what do the brits know. So, uh, the sitting president and presumed (R) candidate for the 2020 election not be on IL the ballot? Your electoral college ballots will not be counted. And, since you choose not to participate, you won't be needing any federal funding for anything either. Touche!

Doesn’t seem enforceable....

But what the heck, Trump is not likely to win in Illinois anyway, so those electoral college votes were already pretty well forfeit in that state.

I want to see the law that compels This!

Trump needs to hold a national address and explain the Russian collusion hoax, and the slimy tactics being used by the Dems and the media!

These enemies of the constitution need to be tarred and feathered at the minimum and exported somewhere to their utopia. Antartica. I hear it’s not warming as fast there either.

Yeah like that will work! Keep a candidate of your ballots and we simply wont validate them and count them at all. This is the United States of America not the Kingdom of Illinois! Better be careful what you start! It may be something you could really regret!

NO BODY CARES ABOUT HIS TAX RETURNS!!! He was elected and we didn’t care about it then. It was adjudicated by the election and it is over!!! Get over the tax returns— they mean nothing. Not one damned thing. You are just lost after the Mueller report total exoneration and discombobulated. Why dont you try forming national legislative goals and negotiate toward them for the PEOPLE and stop the witch hunt! You are heading for a slaughter in 2020.

Prickster vowed to make Ill-Annoy the epicenter of the Anti-Trump Resistance Movement. Why are we surprised? This state makes the illegal legal by passing unlawful laws to make unlawful activity lawful. See how easy it is?

I see no problem if Illinois has made this requirement for other Presidential candidates. If not, Illinois can go pound sand.

Already ruled on by USSC. States cannot impose eligibilty requirements beyond those in the Constitution. This attempt is a PR stunt.

Americans to Illinois Senate, “Go F Yourselves!”

No Trump on ballot, no Illinois Electors in EC.

Short-sighted Dims.....

Apparently, they haven't thought through the fact that any Democratic candidate will also have to release their tax returns in order to appear as a presidential candidate on their ballot.

But Democrats candidates don’t need to submit theirs?

Bill of Attainder. If they pass this they should all face prison time.

For those going Ra,Ra,Ra now I would love to see the look on their faces when their electoral votes don’t go to the Democrat candidate either.

Be patient as i’m sure it would be slow to sink in.

Mr Trump’s unprecedented refusal to make publicly available his income tax returns.

"Unprecedented"? It only became "precedented" with Nixon (and a fat lot of good that did!)

I don't think that this would pass Constitutional muster. States haven't even been able to pass term limits, because that has been declared unconstitutional. They would need a Constitutional Amendment, the chances of that happening before 2020 are 0.
