First, we learned that President Joe Biden’s spot on the Ohio ballot was in danger and analyzed how that might play out. We still don’t even have a definitive answer to that question, but an almost identical situation has now cropped up in Alabama. The Alabama Secretary of State, a Republican, has informed the Alabama […]
The Democrats have invested plenty of time, energy, and money trying to keep Donald Trump off of the ballot this November, hopefully by landing him in prison.
