Showing Original Post only (View all)Heritage Foundation threatens to sue if Biden is dropped from the DNC nomination [View all]
I know it's Fox, but it's an important story.
The Heritage Foundation, one of the United States' most prominent and well-connected conservative activist groups, is laying the groundwork in case a sudden switch-up in the Democratic roster sparks a legal war.
"We are monitoring the calls from across the country for President Biden to step aside, either now or before the election, and have concluded that the process for substitution and withdrawal is very complicated," Executive Director of The Heritage Foundations Oversight Project Mike Howell said in a statement. "We will remain vigilant that appropriate election integrity procedures are followed."
Heritage has already identified multiple states in which a switch away from Biden before or after the nomination could mean serious trouble for the Democratic Party.
In a separate statement, the Oversight Project warned, "If the Biden family decides that President Biden will not run for re-election, the mechanisms for replacing him on ballots vary by state. There is the potential for pre-election litigation in some states that would make the process difficult and perhaps unsuccessful.
"Given the expected intensity of election integrity concerns in this election cycle, policymakers and the public should be educated and aware of the contentious path ahead," it added.

OP
So now the Heritage Foundation has a say in who the DNC makes their candidate?

It may be none of their business, but they have six like-minded friends on the Supreme Court.

Interesting. This sort of confirms that Biden being replaced is a good idea.

They can't dictate how parties handle their nomination process. And the process is well known.
