minus-square@RupeThereItIs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•8 months agoNope. Michigan primaries are run by the state like any other election. We have open primaries, anyone who’s registered to vote can vote in our primaries. My guess is Trump’s not been convicted of acts that would disqualify him. This was always a flimsy case, without a conviction that we should already have.
minus-square@MagicShel@programming.devlinkfedilink2•8 months agoWasn’t the law originally applied to folks who weren’t convicted? That would make requiring a conviction wrong.
minus-square@RupeThereItIs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink0•8 months agoIt was after the civil war, a general amnesty had been declared nobody was being tried. Furthermore they where obviously guilty, with a serious paper trail of a rebal government to back up their guilt. Trump is garbage who defied his oath and committed treason… But he still deserves a trial first. And that trial should have already completed.
