They're not requiring Donald Trump to - release his taxes, they're

Posted: Apr 13th, 2019 - 8:42 am In Reply to: The state has the right to choose electors, but requiring - candidates to release tax info

wanting to require any president or vice president to release taxes. I don't really know if this includes members of their state representatives but it should.

Now that really would be illegal to only allow republicans to vote.

I don't believe it has passed yet but I believe it falls under states rights.
