Washington Senate passes bill that would keep Trump off 2020 ballot unless he releases tax

Senators voted by a 28-21 margin to approve the bill, according to CBS. The state's attorney general and solicitor told lawmakers in a letter this week that the proposal likely was constitutional, but analysts expect the law if passed to be challenged in federal court.
quote:
Democrats who supported the bill said the provision was necessary to force a return to norms surrounding the release of presidential candidates' tax returns.
"Although releasing tax returns has been the norm for about the last 40 years in presidential elections, unfortunately we've seen that norm broken," said Sen. Patty Kuderer (D), who sponsored the bill, according to CBS.
Republicans, however, argued that the state was getting into questionable territory by attempting to impose rules on a federal election.

It's blatantly unconstitutional. States are allowed to set their own rules for State elections but the Constitution states the requirements for federal elections.

What a waste. Their taxpayers should vote them all out.

No worries about disenfranchising voters here, only when the issue of voter ID is raised. Hypocrites.

Imagine Alabama or Mississippi doing something like this in 2012 to keep Obama off the ballot.
Wonder how the media and the left would frame it

Dem's are such babies.
Where does it say that a candidate must show his tax records?

Ya think
"We heahh in the great state of ol Bamy will not allow Jesse Jackson to run for President in our great State due to his lack of forthcoming concerning possible illegal activities and immoral behavior. Until these items are addressed we must do our duty as State representatives of the people."
Good luck with that.

The left has no shame.
They will do anything to impose their will on others.
And the sad thing is Trump has no chance in a state like that anyway; since they have become a hard core one party state.

Doesn’t say he can’t be a write in candidate. Now that would be funny funny if he was written in enough to win.
