The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Arrest any state election official that obstructs Trump being on the ballot.

Arrest any state election official that refuses to deliver the vote totals that Trump wants.


Who's going to carry out those arrests? Who's going to give the orders?

Wrongfully interfering with state election officials is a state crime. Todd Blanche gets to spend the rest of his life in state prison if he were to unlawfully interfere with state election processes. In fifty states.

No one's actually going to do this. Todd Blanche can't make the entire 2028 election disappear. He doesn't have that power, no one would listen to him, all the state governments have their own men with guns as well.

In 28, Trump can start the intimidation campaign months earlier, rather than after the votes are cast. Some state officials will be eager to put Trump on the ballot. Others will put him on the ballot, to avoid expected retribution. Others will submit to threats. I doubt he would need to actually have US Marshals arrest any state Secretary of State.

So your theory is that Trump declares himself a candidate in 2028?
