NYS Board Of Elections Puts Trump On Presidential Ballot


The New York State Board of Elections, has Voted to place Trump on the State's Presidential Primary Ballot.

The Bipartisan Board, comprising Four Members, saw its Two Republican Commissioners, Anthony Casale and Peter Kosinski, firmly Rejecting Arguments for Disqualifying Trump, aged 77, over His Involvement in the Capitol Breach.

The Duo maintained their Decision was bound by State Regulations, concerning a Candidate's National Prominence and Campaign Finances Certifications, and gathering requisite Petitions. Highlighting the Procedural aspects, Kosinski noted that the Absence of formal Objections, as per the stipulated Guidelines, precluded any Disqualification.

In the wake of this Decision, Trump, along with other Contenders, like former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and Tech Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, secured Approval for inclusion on the Ballot.

While both Christie and Ramaswamy have Suspended their Campaigns, they have Not formally withdrawn from consideration in New York. However, the Rejection of Candidates Ryan Binkley and David Stuckenberg, coupled with State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal's (D-47th District) Objection, has added fuel to the ongoing Debate.

Hoylman-Sigal, invoking the 14th Amendment, has vehemently Contested Trump's Eligibility, citing Provisions against Officeholders involved in Insurrection or Rebellion.

"The Board of Elections can still uphold the United States Constitution by sustaining our objection and disqualifying Donald Trump from the presidential ballot," Hoylman-Sigal asserted, signaling intent to Challenge the Decision in Court.

"As the Colorado State Supreme Court has already rightfully ruled, Donald Trump is disqualified from holding any elected office in the United States due to engaging in and inciting a violent insurrection in which he attempted to overturn the will of the American people while taking multiple lives," the Lawmaker continued, adding, "Should the Board of Elections fail to do their duty and rule Trump eligible, I will see them in court."

As the Legal battle intensifies, the upcoming Supreme Court Hearing looms large. Scheduled for Thursday, February 8th, the Hearing will determine whether Trump can be barred from State Presidential Ballots, following the Precedent set by the Colorado Supreme Court.
