Democrats support voting rights for convicts, but deny ballot access to former President Trump
Democrats’ Double Standard: Criminalizing Trump While Supporting Ballot Access for Criminals
Despite two impeachments, FBI investigations, and numerous prosecutions, former President Donald Trump has not been convicted of a crime. However, Democrats are pushing to remove him from future ballots, even as their party advocates for ballot access for criminals.
In Maine, an official unilaterally removed Trump from the ballot based on her personal belief that he supported violence on January 6, 2021. This decision, made without the authority of a judge, goes against the law.
Trump’s statements on that day did not clearly incite violence and are protected by the First Amendment. Leftists are wrongfully equating speech with violence, disregarding constitutional standards. The majority of people who listened to Trump’s speech were not incited to violence, and evidence shows that the violence was caused by a small proportion of rioters.
Accusing Trump of inciting insurrection is a political tactic aimed at promoting a one-party state. Lawsuits have been filed in multiple states to prevent Trump from appearing on the ballot. One such lawsuit was successful in Colorado and is now being reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Interestingly, in 2023, 20 House Democrats cosponsored a bill to allow individuals who are still serving sentences for their crimes to vote in federal elections. These cosponsors include Reps. Jerry Nadler and Dan Goldman, who have been involved in efforts to deny Trump a fair trial and equal treatment under the law.
Nadler, known for undermining constitutional norms, requested President Bill Clinton to pardon left-wing insurrectionists who bombed the U.S. Capitol in 1983. He has also dismissed Antifa domestic terrorism as a “myth.”
Democrats at the state level in New York, Washington, Maryland, and Virginia have also taken steps to restore voting rights for convicted criminals, despite their repeated violations of fellow citizens’ rights. Additionally, two dozen Senate Democrats cosponsored a bill to allow post-release felons to vote nationwide, claiming that not allowing lawbreakers to affect the nation’s laws is “Jim Crow.”
All 26 Democrat candidates for president in 2020 publicly supported restoring voting rights for former felons, with five even supporting voting access for current prisoners. It is clear that many Democrats advocate for ballot access for criminals, but they do not extend the same rights to Trump.
There is no guarantee that Trump will be convicted of any of the 91 felony counts pending against him. The unequal application of the law between Republicans and Democrats in this country is evident and raises concerns about a show trial atmosphere.
Stacks of evidence show that the last two Democratic presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, committed treasonous crimes for personal financial gain. However, they were never prosecuted or convicted. In contrast, Trump is being aggressively prosecuted for actions that go unpunished when committed by Democrats.
Democrats are attempting to criminalize their political opposition while decriminalizing the actions of their supporters, including murder, rape, and robbery. Their relentless pursuit of Trump is denying him and the American public multiple constitutional rights, including free speech, due process, and equal protection under the law.
This is not the rule of law; it is lawfare, where “law” is used as a political weapon. Such tactics are reminiscent of communist regimes that abuse power under the guise of the law.
What is the significance of House Democrats cosponsoring a bill to allow individuals serving sentences for their crimes to vote, while also working to deny Trump a fair trial and equal treatment under the law
This article discusses the double standard exhibited by Democrats in criminalizing former President Donald Trump while advocating for ballot access for criminals. Despite facing two impeachments, FBI investigations, and numerous prosecutions, Trump has not been convicted of a crime. However, Democrats are actively working towards removing him from future ballots.
In the state of Maine, an official unilaterally removed Trump from the ballot based on her personal belief that he supported violence on January 6, 2021. This decision, made without the authority of a judge, is in violation of the law. It is important to note that Trump’s statements on that day did not clearly incite violence and are protected by the First Amendment. Leftists are wrongly equating speech with violence, disregarding constitutional standards. Evidence shows that the violence was caused by a small proportion of rioters and the majority of people who listened to Trump’s speech were not incited to violence.
Accusing Trump of inciting insurrection is a political tactic aimed at promoting a one-party state. Lawsuits have been filed in multiple states to prevent Trump from appearing on the ballot. One such lawsuit was successful in Colorado and is currently being reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

This double standard exhibited by Democrats is alarming and undermines the principles of justice and equality under the law. Criminalizing Trump while supporting ballot access for criminals goes against the foundations of a fair and just society. All individuals, regardless of their political affiliations, should be treated equally under the law. It is crucial that we recognize and address this double standard to ensure the integrity of our democratic processes.
