New Hampshire’s Secretary of State, David Scanlan, firmly stood his ground amid calls to disqualify the leading GOP contender for the presidency.

In a press conference on Wednesday, Scanlan emphasized that as long as the candidate fulfills their declaration of candidacy, signs it with the utmost sincerity and faces the penalties of perjury, along with paying the required $1,000 filing fee, their name will rightfully appear on the presidential primary ballot.

It is worth noting that the New Hampshire election law explicitly states that anyone who completes these necessary steps shall have their name printed on the ballots. Scanlan ensured that this provision is not up for negotiation but rather a matter of following the law impartially.

The Secretary of State's announcement was preceded by the evaluation of State Attorney General John Formella, who concluded that the 14th Amendment, as advocated by legal scholars like Lawrence Tribe, J. Michael Luttig, and even some anti-Trump Republicans such as William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen, does not grant Scanlan the authority under New Hampshire law to prevent a candidate from participating in the elections.
