Democrats’ attempts to take Trump off the primary ballot may fail in Colorado, Maine, and other states, but they did manage to take their own leader off the ballot in New Hampshire:

The state is holding its contest earlier than this year’s Democratic primary calendar allows, and candidates who appear on the ballot here will not be eligible to accrue delegates to the national convention.

Consequently, Biden must compete as a write-in candidate and will be penalized by his own party if he campaigns in the state — although he has sent high-profile surrogates.

His absence from the ballot in the first-in-the nation primary state stems from an argument between New Hampshire and national Democrats over which contest will lead the nominating process.

As one of his puppeteers famously advised, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.”

At Biden’s request, the Democratic National Committee made South Carolina the first primary of 2024, replacing Iowa as the first contest in the party’s presidential selection process. It ordered New Hampshire to go second and on the same day as Nevada.

No surprise that Biden favors South Carolina. Local congresscritter James Clyburn was instrumental in handing him the 2020 nomination in exchange for racial favoritism.

New Hampshire law mandates it hold the first primary, and legislators in the Republican-run state refused to break with tradition. The state’s attorney general is accusing the DNC of voter suppression and sent the organization a cease-and-desist letter last week that threatened further legal action.

The 2024 election shenanigans have barely begun. Expect them to get ever more convoluted, so that the winner is not declared until the liberal establishment has found a way to make it not be Trump.
