Biden Challenger Blasts Rigged DNC Primary: ‘You Would Expect This in Tehran’.

The Democrat Party is moving to bar primary challengers to President Joe Biden from state ballots across the country. In Florida, Democrat leaders effectively canceled the party’s the March 19 presidential primary by using party rules to name Biden as the only official candidate. Under the state’s election law, uncontested presidential primary races do not appear on the ballot – meaning for Florida Democrats, their state party decided the 2024 Democrat nominee for them.

“Americans would expect the absence of democracy in Tehran, not Tallahassee,” Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) said in a statement regarding the state party’s decision. The multi-millionaire Congressman, who warned his fellow Democrats earlier this year they were “sleepwalking into a repeat of 2016”, announced he would challenge Biden for the Democrat presidential nomination in late October. Marianne Williamson, a perennial Democrat presidential candidate known for her eccentric views, said her campaign is looking in to taking legal action against the state party over their decision.

While not unheard of – some state parties used similar maneuvers to prevent primary challenges to Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama – raise concerns the Democrat Party is increasingly any equating opposition to their agenda as being ‘opposed to democracy’. Democrat Party aligned groups have backed legal challenges in several states as part of an effort to kick former President Donald Trump off of the 2024 presidential ballot. They argue the 14th Amendment’s ‘Insurrection Clause’ bars Trump from being elected to office.

“The Democratic Party is actively seeking to deny voters choices in this election, supposedly to save democracy,” law professor Jonathan Turley warned in The Hill, adding: “Henry Ford once promised customers any color so long as it is black. Democrats are adopting the same approach to the election: You can have any candidate on the ballot, as long as it’s Joe Biden.”

TRUMP WINS Colorado Case As Judge Orders ‘Insurrection Clause’ Cannot Keep Him Off The Ballot.

Colorado District Court Judge Sarah Wallace, a left-wing jurist who contributed to an radical organization that has worked to prevent Republicans connected to January 6th from running for election, has ruled that the “insurrection clause” of the 14th Amendment does not apply to the President of the United States. Therefore former President Trump cannot be barred from appearing on the 2024 presidential ballot. Judge Wallace wrote in her ruling:

To lump the Presidency in with any other civil or military office is odd indeed and very troubling to the Court because as Intervenors point out, Section Three explicitly lists all federal elected positions except the President and Vice President. Under traditional rules of statutory construction, when a list includes specific positions but then fails to include others, courts assume the exclusion was intentional… The Court holds that it is unpersuaded that the drafters intended to include the highest office in the Country in the catchall phrase ‘office . . . under the United States.’

Last week, the Minnesota Sate Supreme Court dismissed a similar lawsuit brought by voters seeking to remove Trump from the state primary ballot.

The court ultimately decided that there was no provision under the 14th Amendment that prevented the former President from appearing on the primary ballot, but left the door open to challenges to his appearance on the general election ballot.

“There is no state statute that prohibits a major political party from placing on the presidential nomination primary ballot, or sending delegates to the national convention supporting, a candidate who is ineligible to hold office,” the Minnesota Supreme Court wrote in its ruling.

The New Hampshire Secretary of State has also ruled that the 14th Amendment does not bar former President Trump from the 2024 election ballot.

Judge Overturns Election After Trailing Democrat Magically Wins From ‘Absentee Ballots’.

In a landmark decision on Wednesday, a Democratic primary race in a Connecticut town was overturned by a judge, following allegations that incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim had cheated. Superior Court Judge William Clark concluded due to a bulk of evidence that “the reliability of the result of the election is seriously in doubt.” This move comes after Ganim, who was trailing challenger John Gomes by 487 votes on election night, was reported to be leading by 251 votes the next day due to a sudden influx of absentee ballots.

Judge Clark’s ruling – wherein he expressed profound disturbance at the content of the videos, stating they were “shocking to the court and should be shocking to all the parties” – was based on the combination of data, which revealed an unusual number of absentee ballots cast in specific districts, and video evidence showing two Democratic officials stuffing ballot drop boxes. In the ensuing court proceedings, both accused officials, Wanda Geter-Pataky, vice chair of the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee, and former city councilwoman Eneida Martinez, invoked their fifth amendment rights.

Despite Clark’s call for a new primary race to be organized because of the doubtful legitimacy of the primary election, plans for the general election on Tuesday remain on schedule. The ballot will list Ganim as the Democratic nominee and Gomes as an independent, per Associated Press reports. This is not Ganim’s first brush with controversy; he was previously found guilty of corruption during his initial tenure as Mayor, however, he was re-elected post his release from prison.
