This week, Gov. Kay Ivey (R-Ala) signed a bill that will ensure President Biden's name is on the state's November ballot. The Governor praised the bi-partisan cooperation, saying "in a democracy, it is essential that both major Parties cooperate to give voters a choice in who they want as their president. Just because Special Counsel Robert Hur declined to prosecute Biden because he is an elderly man with a poor memory doesn't mean voters in our state should be denied the opportunity to cast their ballots for him."
Biden campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez called the bi-partisan action "a necessary step in the battle to prevent the enemies of democracy from seizing power. Unfortunately, we have not seen the same kind of bi-partisan realization that allowing the name of the instigator of the January 6 insurrection to remain on every state's ballot could end democracy in this country. The Supreme Court was able to swat down efforts to exclude Trump's name from the ballots of a couple of states, but if all 50 states had risen up in bi-partisan agreement, this threat to democracy would have been aborted on the launch pad."
Actor Robert De Niro also lamented the failure to remove Trump's name from the ballot, saying "the guy is a monster. Allowing people to vote for him is beyond wrong. I've played a lot of strong characters in the movies who had the responsibility to protect their family from enemies. They weren't deterred by rules that would've interfered with what needed to be done. They took direct action to neutralize their enemies. I keep thinking that if only someone had taken direct action to get rid of Hitler millions of lives would've been saved. What's wrong with us that we can't eliminate this MAGA evil before it strikes us?"

Trump leads Biden by 20 points in Alabama. If Trump loses to Biden in Alabama he has no chance of winning the election. The Republicans can chalk this up as a “sportsmanlike” gesture, which will cost them nothing. If Biden were not on the ballot (and in all fairness, he should not be) then Democrats and the media would make an endless fuss. Let him face humiliation.
