Just a little sex crime among children, NBD.

Anyway, clearly they should treat this as a swing seat, launch a major campaign for the write-in, make clear they'll expel or impeach him should he win, and move to repeal the sore loser laws so this never happens again.

God I'm just disgusted at all the people here either defending this monster or saying this doesn't matter.  Do you realise how creepy and weird you guys are looking defending this.

I agree, but I also think democracy is important.

Democracy includes the state party making people aware of who they nominated and that they have an alternative.

Party primaries are treated as more sacred than they should be, given how under-attended they usually are.

I dont care how unattended they are. He lost fair and square and a court should step in and order him to cease his write in campaign. Do you think the democrats deserve to be able to bail themselves out by cheating instead of doing the right thing and supporting the GOP candidate who didnt lose their primary.

Sore-loser laws evidently aren't a thing in Kansas, so you're literally advocating for judicial lawmaking.

Hopefully the GOP hack attorney general will threaten to press charges if Frowncheater goes forward with this.

Now you're literally advocating for locking somebody up on false charges. Write-in campaigns aren't "cheating," let alone against the law. Get a f**king grip.
My apologies. I really thought there were sore loser laws in this state because the Democratic New Jersey avatar said they need to repeal them and that's why I got so angry. It's my fault for not researching it correctly.

Most sore loser laws prohibit running an on-ballot independent or third-party campaign after losing a primary. They don't prohibit running a write-in in any state.

He seems to quickly be pivoting to an alt-right "F*** those bitches" campaign, so this would seem to be a good time for the party to make clear they'll expel his sex criminal ass the second he sets foot in the Capitol should he win.

Make clear that all this election is settling is whether the state has to waste money on a special election in a few months.

Expulsion takes a 2/3rds vote, and it's highly rare for any party to reach that number in a large legislature in any state. That means that any vote to expel essentially has to be a bipartisan decision.

Expelling an unrepentant sex criminal who seems now to be running for office to take revenge on the "bitches who screwed up his life" seems like one of those cases where it's warranted.

He threatened to perpetrate a school shooting.

Again, expel him unanimously. If it's not legal to expel him ex post facto, pass a state constitutional amendment making it legal and then expel him.

How is this person a Dem? There's an entire other party that exists for people like him.

He's not a Dem. He's a hard-line authoritarian communist with a fetish for political violence posing as a DemSoc.

Terrible result, but he'll be politically neutered in the statehouse and primaried by a non-scumbag in 2022.

Expulsion definitely isn't an option. The voters elected a scumbag and they are stuck with that scumbag for two years.

He's a terrorist.

Expulsion absolutely is an option.

The ride never dies.

Democrats are now seeking to oust him for ordering a hit on Governor Kelly, who he claims is too conservatvie.

https://apnews.com/article/kansas-city-kansas-topeka-elections-fd91a21ee706c19194c7d302a2315d28

Quote
A political operative provided The Associated Press with a screen shot of another tweet that was no longer online Thursday in which Coleman predicted that Kelly would face an “extremely bloody” Democratic primary in two years. The screen shot was provided anonymously because the operative was not authorized to speak about the race.

“I’m not playing around,” Coleman wrote in the tweet. “People will realize one day when I call a hit out on you it’s real.”

See? This was discovered post-election. He was stupid enough that he didn't even last a week. He'll be expelled and they won't be caught flat-footed again.

Across the country, is there anyone in public office who is as bad a person as Coleman? I honestly can't think of one. Not even MTG.

I mean, Lauren Boebert may have collaborated in an attempt on the lives of Congress and the Vice President, but it's definitely a short list.

Sorry for the necropost, but this seemed the right place.

Looks like this story is about to reach its thoroughly predictable conclusion.
