Washington becomes latest state that could leave Biden off their November ballot
Washington rule could leave Biden off the November ballot, but state has a solution
"You have to go all the way back to 1964 to find a state that kept a major party presidential candidate off the ballot"
Well, shit, now I have to find out what happened in 1964...
Fucking Alabama and George Wallace... Removed Johnson from the ballot.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election_in_Alabama
"The primary chose a set of unpledged Democratic electors.[3] by a margin of five-to-one,[4] Under Wallace's guidance, the Alabama Democratic Party placed this slate of unpledged Democratic electors on the ballot,[5][6] against the advice of some legal scholars,[7] but after planning to run for president himself (as he would do in 1968), decided against this in July. Johnson was the third winning president-elect to not appear on the ballot in Alabama, after Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and Harry S. Truman in 1948."
There's Biden's election line... "I'm joining a short list of Presidents removed from the ballot in Alabama, Lincoln, Truman, Johnson, and me..."
Weird that they would choose a date so late did the convention.
God, could I just ask for a little competency in the people whose job it is to get Biden reelected?
They do, (for better or worse) Biden’s a career politician who has consistently won elections for decades. He beat trump before and has been out raising him this whole time.
Check out OPs post history. It’s almost like they only post articles meant to give you a certain impression…
This isn't the DNC fucking shit up. It's a thing that's happened several times before including in 2020. The article goes over how in 2020, Oklahoma, llinois, Washington, and Montana accepted provisional ballots from both the RNC and the DNC. In 2020, the RNC was from August 24th to 27th. The DNC was from August 17th to 20th. This is not a fuck up, it's just that the rules are being enforced more strictly this year, particularly in republican states. I wonder why Republicans would enforce rules more strictly in an election year they intend to fuck with as much as they can. Totally isn't a partisan weaponizing of laws that are usually not a problem to deal with.
The biggest question I have for the most powerful nation in the world is .... why everyone settled on either an 81 year old who is obviously suffering from their old age ... and a 77 year old fascist.
The American people don’t actually get to choose.
Because one is a sitting President and the other thinks he should have been the sitting President.
The dnc election nomination is controlled by superdelegates that just get to pick whoever they want.
These superdelegates are supposed to be free agents. The reality is; they’re bought and paid for by the rich donors.
With "democracy on the line", how is the Biden admin screwing up so bad?!
This isn't the Biden admin. This is because the DNC set the date for their convention to officially select the party candidate so late that it's after State deadlines. Who knows why they made that decision, it's not the first they have, and the DNC aren't the only ones. The Republicans did the same thing in 2016 when Trump was elected. Alabama had to pass a law to extend the deadline for the RNC to select late that election.
Could be that the DNC, like the bunch of entitled idiots that they are, assumed that the rules weren't important and people would make an exception for them.
“biden bad” right? just like all your other posts?
Is this article a good thing?
