Dems Want RFK Jr Kept Off Ballot [semi-satire]

Trump isn't the only person Democrats would like to see kept off the November election ballots. Third Way, a Democratic think tank says "third party candidates muddle the clear choice between President Biden and MAGA enemy of democracy Donald Trump. This unfairly spoils Biden's chances for a much deserved second term. We must explore every option for preventing such a disaster."

Third Way has already pointed out that a super PAC called American Values 2024 wants to work on getting Robert F. Kennedy's name on the ballots of all 50 states. Attorneys from the powerhouse Democratic election law firm Elias Law Group says "federal campaign finance law requires American Values 2024 to undertake this effort independently of Mr. Kennedy. However, in many states the candidate himself must gather the signatures. We will sue to disallow any signatures not gathered by Kennedy himself."

Kennedy Campaign manager Amaryllis Fox Kennedy said "we have a nationwide operation underway and will get on the ballot in all 50 states with our own volunteers and small-dollar donations. Americans are tired of the establishment resorting to legal threats against their political opponents and deserve a leader who is asking for their vote based on the issues that affect their lives."

Tony Lyons, the super PAC's president, pointed out that "the Supreme Court has already ruled that the act of collecting signatures and submitting them on behalf of a candidate is not just a civic duty, but an exercise of our First Amendment rights."

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre observed that "Mr. Kennedy is an admitted vaccine denier and promoter of medical misinformation. It is inconceivable that voters should be permitted to cast their ballots for him. The President has scheduled a meeting with Attorney General Garland to discuss methods for persuading him to drop his foolhardy quest to become president. Considering that his uncle was killed when he was president and his father was killed while running for the office he might want to think about the risk of challenging a sitting president for the job."

Damned idiots.

Had they gone with RFK and dumped Biden in the first place, they’d be sitting pretty right now...............

The dem party spends 100% of its time figuring out how to rig elections. So far, I gotta say that they are doing pretty well. But keeping people off of the ballot is just another in their bag of tricks.

More than once RFK Jr. has been refused Secret Service protection. This means the Dems want to minimize his impact-—or worse.
