On Wednesday, California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis wrote a letter to Secretary of State Shirley Weber urging her to "explore every legal option" to remove Trump from the ballot, citing the Colorado case.
"California must stand on the right side of history," Kounalakis wrote. "California is obligated to determine if Trump is ineligible for the California ballot for the same reasons described in [Anderson v. Griswold]. The Colorado decision can be the basis for a similar decision here in our state."

They're all loathesome, and would likely embrace Project 2025.

(10,654 posts)The deadline for the primary ballot was last week, I think, and the mechanics for the March 5 primary are already in motion (I suppose a court could kick him off the November ballot and declare the runner-up in the closed Republican primary the nominee).
