It's getting really old having to explain things in crayons to you, but even a modicum of research shows these states were following the law.
"The statute literally says, 'Any person who files nomination papers and qualifies to appear on the ballot may not decline nomination. The name of that person shall appear upon the ballot except in case of death of the person,'" Ann Jacobs, the chair of the commission, told another commissioner struggling with the idea of keeping someone on the ballot who didn't want to move forward with his or her candidacy.
"You're giving me this touchy-feely: 'I feel like this shouldn't be the law.' The law in this case is crystal clear," she added. "I don't disagree with you — it's weird, but I don't see we have any discretion here."
And I'm normally against voting rights intelligence tests since we have historical precedent of them being abused for racial and other reasons, but this one I'm perfectly OK with. If you aren't smart enough to know he isn't running your vote shouldn't count. The Venn diagram of people that dumb and Trump supporters is a perfect circle.
