(((THEY))) never thought she would lose

so lets try another tact to get Trump out-

eliminate him from the ballot.

Yet I would bet 45 has his lawyers looking into all of this in time for 2020 candidate deadlines.

ENOUGH OF THE RIDICULOUS STATES CALLS to ban Trump from the ballots over his tax returns!

Why not go full-court-press to make a constitutional amendment requiring ALL federal candidates including retroactively the sitting Congress' last 5 years tax return to be made public.

Are these attempts to swing an election or effect its results by illegal means akin to voter fraud to win elections? Perhaps the rampant Trump derangement syndrome is acting out by trolling him for the next year along with rampant investigations.

Whatever the agenda, it appears states are jumping on board and now last week Washington state senate passed a bill, whose governor is also running for president and who has to sign the bill, if passed - would it be a 'conflict of interest' ?

If left to the states to decide, what impact is there beyond a state border for the candidate- how consistent would the rules be if not standardized for a federal candidate? i.e; 50 different parameters of 3 years, 5 years, 8 years of tax returns?

It may or may not swing and there have been arguments on both side from 2016-2019 on the issue. One good one is a SC case: U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, a 1995 case in which the Court struck down a state law that prevented congressional candidates who had already served a certain number of terms in Congress from appearing on congressional election ballots in the state, holding that states had no authority to impose additional requirements beyond those mentioned in the Constitution for the office of U.S. Representative or Senator, and that preventing the names of long-serving federal legislators from appearing on the ballot amounted to an additional requirement for congressional officeholding. The same kind of argument might be made about the TRUMP Act.
