Trump's Removal from the Ballot: How Both Parties Stack the Deck in Elections

Middleweight Politics: Political Analysis for the Independent Voter

Release Date: 01/08/2024

Over the past few weeks, two states have removed Donald Trump from the ballot on the grounds his role in the January 6th attack on the Capitol disqualified him from holding office under the Constitution.

While Trump's claims of a rigged election are as dubious as the case for removing him from the ballot, there are some ways the deck is stacked in favor of particular candidates.

In this episode, we discuss how both he and Biden have rigged their party's primaries in their favor, and how both major parties routinely take action to suppress independent and minor party candidacies.
