Kennedy on Virginia ballot, but West disqualified
Times Dispatch ^ | 8/29/2024 | MICHAEL MARTZ

Independent candidate Cornel West did not qualify for the presidential ballot in Virginia, but Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did, despite suspending his campaign and throwing his support to former President Donald Trump.

The Virginia Department of Elections has not completed its review of required forms and signatures for three other independent candidates: Claudia de la Cruz of the Party for Socialism and Liberalism, anti-abortion activist Randall Terry and Indian American entrepreneur Shiva Ayyadurai.

The Trump campaign should be planning how to best play these problems. Maybe RFK Jr could reach out to dissatisfied Dems who can't bring themselves to vote for President Trump to vote for him as a protest vote.

Or in the blue states such as Maryland, and have the Republicans vote for him as the protest votes.

Signs saying Harris/Kennedy across the state. I’m sure a number of people will get confused and pick either or in the ballot. What a joke of a system. Names shouldn’t even be on ballots. Write in who you want, you get it wrong it’s not counted. If you don’t care enough don’t vote.

No one was ever going to vote for the professional racist West, but keeping RFK on there could siphon votes away from Trump. They know what they are doing.

So if a candidate backs out and supports someone else, then why shouldn’t any votes he receives go to the candidate that he supports?

What will Youngkin do? Can he do anything? Speak out at least but will he? He did his part cleaning up the role.

I doubt that anyone who chooses to vote for RFK at this point would vote for Trump if he wasn’t on the ballot.

As everyone knows, each state controls their election process and the feds have no real say.

That being said, I think a federal commission should lay out a detailed, auditable process (involving IDs, purple ink, purging voter rolls, and other features) that would be “recommended” to the 50 states.

And then Congress should block every penny of federal aid to the state until it voluntarily adopts the federal guideline.

No more half measures.

We can’t have political hacks like Youngkin doing anything about elections. This must be in the hands of Democrat selected Secretaries of State like the fair honest lawfare abiding Raffensperger [may his lawsuit bankrupt him worse than Alex Jones].

‘Cause there is no reason to believe that he would support someone you’d be willing to vote for. Lokk at what libertarian party did, they pushed a commie.

Just because someone is suspending their campaign is no reason to strike them from a ballot they have already qualified for. He might un-suspend a week before. There is a difference between “suspend” and “cancel”.

Choice?

You think voters will get to choose?

From 2006, a preview of coming attractions we ignored at our peril...

Update: Is ‘vote flipping’ an e-voting problem or user error?

Junior's name is on the ballot to give Deep State a place to stash switched Trump votes.

The only way to steal a landslide is with high tech.

Which is why Deep States worldwide love those handy dandy electronic voting machines.

During the recent French elections they didn’t know who the candidates for the second round were until the first round was completed, just a week before the second round.

I don’t understand why the candidates on the ballots need to be locked in so far in advance.

Isn’t there anything for goodness sakes we can do? Where are the voices of the RNC in Virginia ..can they do anything about it? And the rest of the states where RFK Jr has dropped off? Where the hell is our party where the hell is our representatives in Washington? At least have an objective voice to this madness for crying out loud! Instead they’re sitting behind their little desk cowering like cowards! UGH!😡 we might lose the election by a few thousand because of this. The left demonic RATS are counting on it along with the fix.

“ Where are the voices of the RNC in Virginia”

Silent, just like everywhere else. We have a few that will stand up, but they are denounced as “extreme”. The media is in the pocket of the left, and that is significant.
