“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.’” …

Scheme to keep Trump off the ballot.
By another mealy mouth republican. No doubt a 'lesser of two evils' kind of republican. That may equate to, a preferred kind of republican in NH. Better than demonrat, right GOPe?

Notice that the schemers here are Republicans. So we can expect much worse from the Democrats.
This will have to be settled by the Supreme Court. And there it won’t matter how many conservative justices there are. What will matter is how many are willing to buck the Deep State.
A “Republican”, huh? NeverTrumper in sheep’s clothing.
This is another reckless and dangerous move.

Trans-Republicans coming out of the closet.. These con artists like godfather Biden.
This bag of shyte is another A hole trying to remove people’s liberty. The sooner we get rid of these POS the better.
Refuse. Resist. Rebel.
Trump isn’t guilty of anything. On what grounds?
Scheme or following the law? This has been batted around and needs legally determined. Why are people p?asked when people try to carry out their duties?
If Trump is blocked from the primary, I will not be voting in the primary. Rather I will vote for Trump as an independent or write-in for the general election. This I swear by God.
Duties? You are one seriously warped mental case.
these people are absolutely sick traitors to our country.
God help us.
One hollow eyed jawjar deeaye should not circumvent the will of the people.
Just wait and see.
Or rather I will vote for Trump as a write-in for the primary if permitted.
“Live free or die” my ass. What is wrong with NH???
I think that whatever he decides will meet with a legal challenge, so making sure his legal staff understand the law is simple due diligence.
