“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. …
“‘I have some in-house staff attorneys that are election experts,” he said. ‘I will be asking the attorney general’s office for their input. And ultimately whatever is decided is probably going to require some judicial input.’” …
“Here in New Hampshire, the GOP’s 2020 nominee for the first congressional district, attorney Bryant “Corky” Messner, said in a radio interview Monday that he read about the legal theory and is now thinking about suing to ensure that Scanlan enforces the Constitution against Trump.

RINO’s on Parade.
When was Trump convicted? I must have missed that.
I agree with your argument that we need to demonstrably go on the offensive.
It will not be as easy for us, of course, the totalatarians have one target they can focus on and we do not. They will throw Biden under the bus in a heartbeat (except he has leverage over every single one of them that are domestic). OTOH, for a number of reasons he is essentially is done.
"They" also have the luxury of having a well-oiled, low maintenance machine humming in the background throwing out thousands of new lib voters every day.
There is a lot we can do, but from what we see from the Jan6 episode and the multitude of frivolous suits v Trump and his supporters, the days when we can discuss political options in public may be coming to an end.
I just wrote the Secretary of State expressing in no uncertain terms my disapproval of this nonsense.

“Trump isn’t guilty of anything. On what grounds?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guilt by Accusation.
It’s the progressive way of thinking.
Republican attorney generals need to start indicting Democrats for whatever they can think of! The Dems want lawfare so give it to them!
The Democrat/Communist Party is clearly seeking to retain power in the 2024 primaries and general election through cheating and by eliminating any serious competition. As the general election approaches, I fully expect "elimination" will be expanded by the Democrat/Communist Party to mean "elimination by any and all possible means." I am serious about this.
I don't understand. If no Republican challenges his appearance on the primary ballot, then who will take it to court?
Is there anything different you would have Scanlon do that could be conclusive? He wasn't the only one that received such letters, and it appears he did exactly what he had to do to survive in a Dem/Rino setting.
This seems almost the opposite of Comey inappropriately deciding on behalf of the proper government agencies whether or not a prosecutor would bring charges in a certain instance.
This is what happens when someone with limited career options becomes a career politician. They can grift off the public and accumulate more wealth than ever possible as a working American. They are not one of us.
Recuse himself. The whole game is political. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? President Trump is entitled to the same Just Us that criminal Joe Biden and criminal Pence.. neither of which just like Hillry, are being charged for having ‘secret, classified’ information..
People ignore, what goes around comes around.
If not Trump then the USA gets a single party state good and hard.

That was implicit in the results of the 2020 election.
So the Republican party should refuse to seat any delegates from New Hampshire who are selected in such a bogus manner.
The Republican Party of New Hampshire should move to a caucus system if the Secretary of State interferes with the primary in this way.
The GOP in Washington moved to a caucus system, a few cycles ago, because the Dems who run the State were playing stupid games.
Political parties are private organizations,the State does not have carte blanch to mess with them, make new rules for them, etc.
Exactly what has he been convicted of and lost all appeals on? The senate refused to convict on the second impeachment. So there has been a federal trial (in the senate). The NH SOS is no doubt ‘close friends’ with sununu and other gope slime (aka commiecrats).
Have a nice weekend.
I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high as its highly unlikely there’s going to be an election in 2024 and looking worse every month. 😏
This has all been litigated up to the SCOTUS before. You can’t keep someone off the ballot. Eugene V Debs ran for president while in prison on Sedition charges after WWI. They couldn’t keep him off the ballot.
He didn’t ask for duties. He asked for special treatment. His problem was never, legally, the simple confirmation.
None has justified their behavior.
I’ve been saying this for months....
Death by a Thousand Cuts.
We thought the New York DA, Alvin Brage charges were terrible. Then came along Jack Smith. Wow.
But that was nothing compared to Fat Fani. Which this is actually a Sunday School picnic compared to what’s to come.
These ‘Rat bastards will stop at nothing in order to get Trump. Death or Jail? Jail or Death?
Whatever.
