Larry Elder posted a tweet thread explaining all that’s going on with his campaign being canceled by the Commie Secretary of State in California, which we’ve posted below.
The Secretary of State sent a letter late Sunday informing us that I had not qualified for the ballot due to redaction issues with my income tax returns.

Shortly thereafter, they shared the letter sent to my campaign manager with the media. Our lawyers tell us that no candidate has ever been previously disqualified due to redaction issues with income tax returns.

The Secretary of State could have made the supposedly required redaction(s), but elected not to. We’re trying to ascertain the details.

“The redactions required on tax returns include items such as social security number, home address, telephone number, etc.”
Should they not be redacted inadvertently, it would be an error that does not arise to a disqualifying factor. Furthermore, the Secretary of State could’ve made additional redactions if she determined my tax returns were insufficiently redacted.

“This violates the equal protection clause of Art. I, § 7, of the California Constitution…”
Finally, this also violates the equal protection clause of Art. I, § 7, of the California Constitution not to require Governor Gavin Newsom to comply with the same tax return disclosure requirement.

If the Secretary of State’s decision is not reversed, we will see them in court.

So in short, nothing has changed. I thought he was in court his morning but perhaps that was simply preliminary. Either way the Secretary of State should back down and put him on the ballot because he deserves to be there just like everyone else. Otherwise he should sue the hell out of her in court.
