The Heartland Institute's Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and Jack McPherrin present episode 428 of the In The Tank Podcast. By a 4-3 vote, a Democrat dominated Colorado Supreme Court removed Donald Trump from the ballot in that state for being guilty of "insurrection" against the United States. This is the first time a clause of the 14th Amendment has ever been applied. Is it warranted? And is this just the start? The California Secretary of State is investigating doing the same, and rumors are Michigan, a genuine swing state, will follow. The ITT crew will also discuss a new poll we commissioned with Rasmussen about voter fraud in the 2020 election and what punishment Trump deserves for not accepting the results of that election. Show notes: OPENING BANTER - Christmas is coming, one more In the Tank this year.
