Gavin Newsom OKs law forcing Trump to release tax returns to get on California's ballot
2019-07-31

[SacBee] California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom approved a bill on Tuesday to force President Donald Trump to release his tax returns in order to get on the state's 2020 primary ballot.

While other states have pursued Trump's taxes, California is the first one in the country to make the disclosure of tax returns a requirement for a ballot spot.

Senate Bill 27, dubbed the "Presidential Tax Transparency and Accountability Act," took effect immediately after Newsom's signed it.

The proposal from Sen. Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg, requires all candidates president and governor to submit the last five years of their tax returns to the Secretary of State. The information will then be published online for the public to see, with contact information, Social Security numbers and medical information redacted.

The Democrats' strategy is starting to come into focus. If they don't allow his name to appear on the ballot in multiple states then the popular vote will skew toward the Democrat, who is then guaranteed a minimum percentage of the electoral college based on states that have adopted a popular vote rule. It probably won't ever change the outcome of an election, but it will prevent a landslide victory and provide evergreen 'stolen election' talking points.
