Blue state lawmakers want to keep Trump off 2020 ballot unless he releases tax returns

Lawmakers in several deep blue states want to require presidential candidates to release their tax returns in order to appear on the ballot in those states, a sharp rebuke of President-elect Donald Trump's ongoing refusal to make his tax records public.

A pair of Maryland Democrats on Tuesday announced they would introduce a bill to mandating the release of five years of tax returns, mirroring similar proposals in New York, Massachusetts, California and Maine.

If approved, the proposals could keep Trump from appearing on some ballots in 2020 if he continues breaking with the decades-long tradition of financial transparency and decides to seek a second term.

1. Good. These are tactics we need to employ for the next four years.

California might be the only state where the legislature passes the bill and the governor signs it. Still it only takes one state.

2. It's doubtful that such a law would stand up in federal court

But it would be rich to watch him be forced to fight these laws around the country.
