“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.

I guess you know zero about the 14th Amendment and you trust some piece of chit lifer government employee to do his job. You and I are the boss of these scumbags. The people of NH are the boss of this scumbag. It’s our job to keep these pieces of chit on the straight and narrow. He shouldn’t even be questioning the 14a. It has zero to do with Trump. Exactly how gullible are you to believe in one iota that Trump is accused?
Election officials in Democrat controlled states and few GOP states will ‘find’ a law that will keep DJT off the ballot. Voter ballots with DJT written in will be discarded, resulting in an ‘official’ low voter turn out, lowest of any Presidential election in history. That will be the talking point, not that the ballots were disqualified or that DJT was kept off the ballot.
Hasn’t their historically been an option of a WRITE IN Canditate?
If not Trump then the USA gets a single party state good and hard.
I fairly obviously did read your comment.
Even just announcing this is political BS, but attempting to follow through on it should cost NH their first in the country status.
The NH GOP is the home of the RINOs.
The Nazis, RATS and Commies are full of so much hatred for America. They want minorities and illegal aliens to run the entire country. They want America to look like the dumbass commercials they are forcing down our throats on the boob tube. That ain’t never going to happen.
Scheme or following the law? This has been batted around and needs legally determined.
Exactly right, there is nothing to criticize at this point. This NH SoS is doing what he ought to be doing. It is way too soon to disregard the law in our resistance to confront the serious threat our entire nation faces.
On the other hand, there may indeed be a RINO in play:
"...the GOP’s 2020 nominee for the first congressional district, attorney Bryant “Corky” Messner is now thinking about suing to ensure that Scanlan enforces the Constitution against Trump."
It appears that either Corky or the author of the article believes the Constitution clearly prohibits a Trump place on the ballot
I would not be surprised if the SoS announcement is an attempt to fend off legal challenges. Regardless they are inevitable.
Duty my backside. The Trans-Republicans smounu boys have been campaigning against President Trump.. this career politician is following in step.. and the hobucks is a long time sneering all thing President Trump.. He is the epitome of a Trans-Republican.
The democrats and evildoers have Texas AG awaiting senate “trial” drummed up to remove him from power. They have to do this because the people of Texas voted for him and not the guy they told us to vote for.
That’s why TX AG can’t help now. Same stuff going on for Trump and true Republicans in this country.
Last I looked, 9 states don’t allow write-in ballots
Even the ones that allow them, there’s filings to be made and hurdles to jump to get them on the ballot far in advance of election day
Otherwise, they won’t be counted at all
Meanwhile, from earlier this month...
As New Hampshire voting machines age, state weighs alternatives
My, what a coinkydink.
SNORT.
Texas AG Paxton?
Was impeached by Dem’s and RINO’s in the Texas Legislature.
That removed Paxton from his office.
Next the Senate will decide whether he is actually removed from his office.
Snaky crap in Austin. Slithering snakes.

The kooks in NH don’t seem to have read the rest of the Constitution. “Innocent unless PROVEN guilty” is in there, as well. This is particularly true fore someone who was found NOT GUILTY in an impeachment trial.
Kook Sununu is the one who should be hauled off, at least to the Loony Bin.
Lawfare law is an ass.
One wishes that Samuel Adams was still around.
Oh, they’re doing something.
See my reply #53.
They should start by defining the phrase “election interference”, then determine whether their contemplated acts meet that criteria.
Totally Correct.
