Reminds me of a system of government nothing like a democracy.

Kamala Harris personally filed an updated Statement of Candidacy (aka Form 2) to designate Tim Walz as her running mate.
<><>Since she used Biden’s personal candidate ID number (P80000722) instead of her own (P00009423), the FEC records are convoluted.
<><>Her newly filed Form 2 shows up on Biden’s personal FEC page. But if you look at the 2024 election cycle, Biden is erased and replaced with Harris, as if he was never never running for President.
<><>Looking at Biden’s campaign committee’s FEC record, it’s now associated with both Biden’s and Harris’s candidacies for President for the period of 2020-2022.
<><>But that makes no sense, because Harris’s Presidential run in 2020 was never linked to Biden’s, and she ceased her campaign for President in 2020 and did not run again until 2024.
<><>Now Harris’s personal FEC candidate ID number (P00009423)—which is supposed to follow her for all Presidential campaigns for life—is somehow linked to Biden’s Presidential campaign in 2020.
<><>Only her Vice-Presidential campaign was ever linked to Biden’s, but that is separate from any Presidential campaigns.

The current 2023-2024 FEC record for “Biden for President” (aka “Harris for President,” ID number C00703975) is linked to two Presidential candidates. Both are both named “Kamala Harris.” One of these candidates is associated with Harris’s candidate ID number (P00009423), and the other “Kamala Harris” is associated with Biden’s candidate ID number (P80000722).

The Statement of Candidacy that Kamala Harris filed on July 29, using Biden’s personal candidate ID number (P80000722), now shows up under Harris’s ID number. But last night’s filing for that same candidate—number P80000722—shows up for the other “Kamala Harris” who is running for President. (Based on what happened previously, I suspect the FEC will shift these records in the future, to make it seem like there aren’t so many discrepancies between the names and the ID numbers.)

Confused? That’s because these filings from Harris are irregular. If Kamala Harris had used her own candidate ID number, like every other candidate in modern history, this wouldn’t have been so complicated, but then it would have been difficult to make the case that she’s entitled to Biden’s war chest. Undoubtedly, these filings are trying to circumvent those pesky campaign finance laws.

By the way, since Walz has never run for President, he doesn’t have his own FEC candidate ID for a Presidential run. According to Harris’s supporters, Walz is equally entitled to any funds from the campaign committee associated with ID number C00703975.

And, just as Harris felt entitled to file an amended Statement of Candidacy using Biden’s personal candidate ID number because she was the Vice Presidential candidate, Walz could do the same, using Biden’s personal candidate ID number to run for President if he wanted to.

Upshot: The Democrats could pass this campaign down in perpetuity, without even obtaining the formal agreement of the prior candidate.

Call Congress

If you know who your representative is but you are unable to contact them using their contact form, the Clerk of the House maintains addresses and phone numbers of all House members and Committees.

Or call (202) 224-3121 for the U.S. House switchboard operator.

Mention zip and state to be connected.

They went through the court system to take Trump off the ballot.

[Jane Long]

Wow ... that needs to be a thread of its own.

Unbelievable what they’ve done/are getting away with.

***if you look at the 2024 election cycle, Biden is erased and replaced with Harris, as if he was never never running for President***

We all know that the 'Rats are not subject to the law AND they despise democratic processes and institutions. Like George Orwell's warning, they have simply replaced Joe Bitem with K Harris - Joe never existed❗

It is a coup d'état pure and simple✔ Is anyone doing anything about that❓ They are Democrats - they don't offer explanations and they control the law enforcement organs of our government.

"Our Democracy" simply means a totalitarian dictatorship - by them only, of course.

So Kamala isn’t even legitimately on the ballot?

I bet she’s not entitled to Joe’s money either
