The Los Angeles Times has this editorial, calling on California Governor Gavin Newsom to veto SB 27. This is the bill that says presidential candidates can’t be on the presidential primary unless they reveal the last five years of their income tax returns.
Given that the requirement is for the primary, and not the general election, shouldn’t the party, and not the state, decide what is required of a candidate to get on the ballot there?
Again-
nomination stuff is part of the PUBLIC election system.
See olde Texas White primary cases 1928-1932.
