In reply to the discussion: Trump, RNC sue to block California law requiring release of tax returns [View all]dumbcat
(2,120 posts)37. Why are they different?
If the state passed the law saying only Republicans (or Green party, or whatever) could be on the ballot, then that's "the will of the people" of that state. Then, they would also have to pass a law (again, following the will of the people) as to how their Electors in the EC shall vote. The State could also pass a law eliminating the election for President, and instruct its Electors to always vote Green Party. If that's what the people's representatives and governor agree, that's the "will of the people.""

OP
He does NOT want those tax returns seen. Tax evasion and money laundering is my guess.

Is having your name printed on a ballot a "qualification" under the Constitution?

I am sure you will be thrilled if they block California from enacting this law.
