GOP Senators Introduce Bill That Would Punish States Who Disqualify Trump From 2024 Ballot – By Sarah Arnold (Townhall) / Dec 29, 2023
Republican senators are planning revenge against states that attempt to disqualify former President Trump from the 2024 ballot.
After Maine became the second state to boot Trump off the state’s ballot, a group of lawmakers have introduced legislation that would punish states who opt to take similar action.
“New law… If any state in our Union blocks the official nominee of a major political party from the Presidential ballot, their electoral slate will not be counted by Congress on the following January 6th,” Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) wrote in an X. “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
Maine Senator Susan Collins also echoed Higgins’s efforts to hold states accountable if they violate constitutional rights.
