Two pro-democracy teams have requested Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar to ban Trump from the poll within the state as a result of inciting the 1/6 revolt.
Free Speech For Individuals (FSFP) and Mi Familia Vota Schooling Fund (MFVEF) wrote to the Nevada Secretary of State:
Your oath to help the Structure, and the weighty duty entrusted to you by Nevada voters as Secretary of State, impel you to exclude Mr. Trump’s title from the checklist of “certified candidates” within the presidential major. However fairly than wait till after he submits his declaration of candidacy,
with the urgency of an approaching major election, we urge you to handle this essential difficulty now.
Mr. Trump’s conduct encouraging the “Large Lie” of a stolen election, encouraging and inciting an revolt, and facilitating that revolt by refusing to intervene to cease it regardless of pressing requests that he achieve this and by supervising subordinates who actively blocked the Nationwide Guard from helping the besieged Capitol Police, renders him ineligible for any federal workplace, together with that of president.
Thus far, state officers have been reluctant to take up these challenges to the poll standing of individuals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump, with the suspicion being that it’d seem undemocratic for state officers to take away a candidate from the poll, however the flip aspect of that argument is that additionally it is undemocratic to aim a coup to overthrow democracy.
As some in legacy media try and normalize Donald Trump and sweep what he tried to do on 1/6 below the rug, it’s important for efforts to get Trump banned from the poll to proceed. The nation can’t be allowed to overlook what Donald Trump did and what he tried to do.
If any presidential candidate in US historical past deserved to be disqualified from the poll, it’s Donald J. Trump.
