Using Law as a Weapon Undermines Trust in Elections

Tuesday, September 10, 2024

This summer saw a slew of court cases over the issue of ballot access. Now the litigation is threatening to undermine voters' confidence in this fall's election. The ability to reflect on and elect our own leaders is the core of our democracy. Democrats should have been thrilled to see third-party candidates like Jill Stein and Cornel West stepping up to provide voters with an alternative choice to the two-party monopoly. They were not. The Democratic Party has filed multiple lawsuits in key swing states to restrict third parties' ballot access. This lawfare will undermine voter confidence in the 2024 election by limiting voters' ability to exercise choice.

Remember when Obama was going to invade Texas, imprison "conservatives", nationalize all illegals and institute sharia law after suspending elections?

It undermined any trust in you

Super obviously a Dinger headline.

#2. It's a slightly revised version of the actual headline which exceeds the 60 character limit.

Are you always an ankle biter?

"This lawfare"

As usual: Calls it "lawfare", can't point to anything illegal.

It's like RFKJ supporters who don't know the difference between ending and suspending.

lmao.... "Commentary" by an absolute Nobody college student who fails to make any case that anything illegal happened to to Donald Trump in his criminal trials.

So, typical Jeffy the Trumpist thread.

I get the feeling he feels left out not having attacked the Capitol on J6 to help a Donald out.

#7. He was ripping the headline, moron.

Corky,

This isn't about Trump. It's about Democrats using the legal system to keep 3rd Party candidates off the ballots.

The coward is back posting trolling threads?

If your boy Trump hadn't broken the law, there would be nothing to prosecute him for.

You get that, right?

Or are you too busy shoving your head up Trump's dumphole?

BullBringer, will you ever man up and admit you're a raving lunatic MAGAt?

Or you going to continue being a coward *itch?

BullBringer,

Your position is, it's unfair to prosecute Trump for laws he's broken.

Because, you're a fkkking idiot.

You fkkking idiot.

FTA In Georgia, an administrative law judge sided with the Georgia Democratic Party and barred him from access to the ballot on a technicality despite finding his petitions met Georgia's minimum signature threshold.

Wrong. The ALJ's decision, last sentence page 7, "[b]ased on the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, the Court concludes that Respondent [West] has met the qualifications to seek the office of President of the United States." administrativelawreport.com

If this law student makes such a fundamental error, i.e. not reading or understanding, the source he cites, WTF would anyone pay any attention to what he has to say? Unless, of course, you're trying to confirm your bias.

- This isn't about Trump

lmao... everything you post is about Trump.

Many of those 3rd party candidates are strategic patsies for Trumpublicans meant to advance the Trump agenda by taking Dem votes.

You should have stuck to BBQ recipes.

Gee. I wonder what effect Trump's 4 year Big Lie and his 60 frivolous lawsuits and his fraudulent electors scheme and an insurrection to try and prevent the peaceful transfer of power had on undermining trust in our elections.

But sure. It's all the Dems fault.

Jeffyjbell is quite the paradox

He feigns concern over the undermining American institutions but his entire persona here on the DR consists only to undermine American institutions

The FBI
The justice system, elections, public schools, public health, all sorts of government agencies, libraries, etc, etc, all having been the target of jeffyjbells undermining right here on the DR

Good grief. That's like 0 awareness

It's sad that you can now spot BULLFLINGER posts by the headlines.

Fanboi Jeff is having a hard time these days.

Here's a fact for you Jeff...the DOJ, Georgia and NYS began their prosecutions of his criminal activities BEFORE HE ANNOUNCED HE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.

The system wasn't designed for 3rd party candidates to realistically compete. It was designed to hand the American voters two people to vote for, of which the winner will be dedicated to keep kicking the can down the road. Trump was the anomaly that shows the system is over pressured and in danger.
