She must be a Republican?
That would be up to the election board to tell her she was not able to run for that seat.
I voted for my first Democrat last year because the Sheriff’s race came down to a man I knew and a woman who has never been a thing but a dispatcher
He won handily in a 72% republican county
It is a matter of law, change the law. Maybe she can claim it is unconstitution, but is it? I’d prefer that anyone should be able to run, let the voters choose.
I can think of worse.
What's that? Different person?
So lack of meeting an Eligibility is now an arrest able crime?
“Doctors unions put a limit on who can become a doctor. It is not the most qualified or the most talented who can become a doctor, but it is the one who jumps through the hoops.”
Yeah, sure. We’ve got all these talented, qualified surgeons languishing on the sidelines because they didn’t ‘jump through hoops’. How do we know they’re talented if they never practiced as a doctor? How did they get qualified pray tell?
COUNTY DEMAND???
“But did they have any right to do that?”
Not if sheriff is designated as an elective office in the California constitution.
“Anh took it a step further. In the face of the District Attorney, she doubled down. She said God certified her to run for Sheriff...”
God bless her, we need more citizens with courage like this.
“So why the arrest?”
They had a checkbox on the form when you filed to run which asked if you met the state mandated qualifications. She checked that box in the affirmative.
It is a crime to lie on that form, apparently.
I heard there’s a law in California that you have to be a moron to run as a Democrat and no one has been arrested yet
Diversitah uber alles.
Yes.
I know nothing of her but I can surmise they see her as an enemy of the state.
Totalitarian California, USA.
I don’t like that this is not hyperbole.
Only if you are not of chosen class
Perhaps this was the only way she could get “standing” to challenge the law ... through a criminal appeal. If she withdraw and brought a civil suit, the judiciary would say she hadn’t been harmed.
