Democrats plan to copy Obama’s tactics to win in November
By Andrea Widburg
In North Carolina, a group of voters is suing to keep U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn off the ballot. They allege that, because he attended the January 6 rally, he violated the 14th Amendment’s prohibition against allowing anyone to run for office if he “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the Constitution. This is a trial run for an attack Democrats intend to make against Donald Trump and myriad Republicans whose congressional seats Democrats crave. It’s also the Obama tactic: Get your opponents off the ballot before the election.
According to AP News:
A group of North Carolina voters urged state officials Monday to disqualify U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn as a congressional candidate, citing his participation in a rally last January in Washington that questioned the presidential election outcome and preceded the Capitol riot.
Cawthorn's office quickly condemned the candidacy challenge, filed on behalf of 11 voters before the State Board of Elections, which oversees the scrutiny of candidates’ qualifications. The voters contend that Cawthorn, a Republican who formally filed as a candidate for the 13th District seat last month, can’t run because he fails to comply with an amendment in the U.S. Constitution ratified shortly after the Civil War.
The 14th Amendment says no one can serve in Congress “who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress . . . to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.”
