New York Board of Elections reviewing letter from state senators calling for removal of Trump's name from 2024 Primary

Amid a split of authority created by state supreme court decisions in Michigan, Colorado, and now Maine, the New York State Board of Elections (NYSBOE) is reviewing a letter signed by five Democrat New York state senators who are calling for the removal of former President Donald Trump’s name from the April 2, 2024, primary. But Commissioner Casale isn't intimidated by the squad of local politicians. The politicians allege that Mr. Trump encouraged the incidents on Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol and characterizes the day as a violent uprising against the United States.

Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, emerged to limit the participation of Confederates in politics after the Civil War ended in 1865. "What they're doing is filing actions against President Trump for everything they can think of, and you've got to get a lawyer to defend these things so if you do these lawsuits across the country, you're draining a lot of money from the Trump organization," Mr. Coale said. "That's what they're doing." Rob Ryan, a Republican political operative, believes the far left's approach to the 2024 elections is based on fear. Mr. Ryan served in Gov. George Pataki's administration for 10 years and was his campaign manager when Mr. Pataki defeated Mario Cuomo.
