Tennessee State Senator Frank Niceley is the sponsor of SB2838, a bill that could prevent Volunteer State presidential electors from voting for President Trump by denying them the right to vote for “candidates whose eligibility for office is in question or doubt at the time of the vote.” The bill could also disqualify all Republicans from the Tennessee state ballot. This bill seems like it is working in lockstep with Colorado and other liberal states’ efforts to remove President Trump from the ballot. SB2838’s House companion is HB2800. Sadly, Senator Niceley is a Republican. It is important to note that Niceley supported Cruz in 2016. Cruz recently endorsed Trump. However, many believe this endorsement was due to Cruz’s low polling numbers, which led to criticism of Cruz for not supporting Trump earlier on.
The critical part of SB2838 reads, “Effective immediately upon the adoption of this act, presidential electors for this state are prohibited from casting a vote for any presidential or vice presidential candidate whose eligibility for office is in question or doubt at the time of the vote, and until such time as the candidate has been properly investigated and cleared of any reasonable doubt.”
Suppose SB2838 was law and a woke local elected official from Nashville or Memphis wanted to challenge Trump’s ballot eligibility just before the presidential election. If that woke local elected official wins their case, even if it is only at a lower level court, presidential electors from Tennessee are not allowed to vote for Trump even if Trump wins the state. Obviously, there would be appeals, but the Left would use the appeals to run out the clock. If Tennesee electors are not sent to Congress by January 6th, 2025, they cannot be counted.
ATTENTION TENNESSEE

Suppose Biden wins Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Nevada. Also, in this scenario, if Trump wins Wisconsin and Michigan while Tennessee votes are out of commission, the electoral college would be 267 to 260. This could lead to a contingent election, if no candidate reaches 270 votes, meaning the United States Congress picks the next president.
This bill gets worse as all Republicans can be kicked off Tennessee’s ballot if Trump’s ballot eligibility comes into question with the key part reading, “Further, the party involved in failing in their duty to only present qualified candidates for ballot access may be disqualified from presenting candidates in future elections.”
Loomer commented on these developments, writing, “This is insane. Why would Senator Nicely propose this bill that might prevent Republicans from presenting any candidates at all in the future, essentially killing off all Republican candidates? I cannot believe this is a real bill proposed by a Republican lawmaker in Tennessee! @SenFrankNiceley this is most draconian bill I have ever seen as it relates to ballot access. You should be ashamed of yourself for proposing this bill. You should withdraw it ASAP or resign. I will be sending this to President Trump’s team so they see this abomination of a bill that I just had to review with my own eyes.”
I suggest Senator Nicely kill the bill before this escalates more than it needs to. @SenFrankNiceley
This is an affront on President Trump and all Republican candidates because the bill penalizes the entire state party if one single candidate is “not vetted properly”.

Frank Niceley, the bill’s sponsor, supported Ted Cruz in the 2016 Primary, even saying Cruz would be POTUS someday. Loomer has been leading the charge in exposing Cruz’s late endorsement of Trump. Many believe Cruz endorsed Trump because his poll numbers were horrific, and Cruz was looking to boost his numbers.
It would be wise for Niceley to follow Loomer’s advice and either resign or drop the bill. Uniparty madness will not be tolerated in Tennessee.
What i dont understood is in reality how youre now not really a lot more smartlyfavored than you might be now Youre very intelligent You understand therefore significantly in terms of this topic produced me personally believe it from a lot of numerous angles Its like women and men are not interested except it is one thing to accomplish with Woman gaga Your own stuffs outstanding Always care for it up
It’s proving to be a monumental task removing all the RINO’s from the Republican party. One that I’m not certain can ever be achieved.
She is not telling the truth about this bill. She is nothing but a sensationalist.
First, Ms. Loomer you never talked to Sen. Niceley or Rep. Hulsey. And how come you only went after Sen. Niceley. Perhaps you called his challenger instead of Senator Niceley???? And perhaps you need to get educated on the ELIGIBILITY requirements to be President or VP. There are only 3. Trump was not under any threat by this bill. He IS a natural born citizen, he is 35+ years of age and he has lived in the US for the past 14 years. If you were interested in actually reading the ENTIRE bill instead of sensationalism to perhaps get in good graces with Donald Trump you would see how uninformed your statements are about this bill. These 3 requirements are stated in the Constitution. And they are REPEATEDLY stated throughout the bill. But you chose not to concentrate on the entire context of the bill. You should be ashamed of yourself. You call yourself an investigative journalist but you failed to do any investigation. Someone sent you a few paragraphs from the bill and you ran with it. The paragraphs you display only say that if a candidate lies about any of these THREE requirements they will be removed from the ballot. Why is this important? Because we have people that run in this election that are not natural born citizens. The only candidate that this bill would threaten is Nikki Haley because she is not a natural born citizen, Neither is Kamala Harris. LOOK AT THE FREAKING CONSITUTION. The 17 Amendment clearly states if you born on US soil you are a CITIZEN. It does not say natural born citizen. She was born here to 2 citizens of India. So as you can see the DNC and the RNC at national and state levels do not do their job at vetting candidates. And that is what this bill would do. It does not talk about criminal status or accusations. There is nothing in the Constitution that says someone in jail cannot run for President. It sets forward THREE eligibilty requirements. You ran with a lie and it leads me to question of the attacks you have waged on others is a lie as well. Sen. Niceley and Rep. Hulsey are 2 of very few legislators in Nashville that are statesmen and not politicians. If Nikki Haley wins (and believe me if they want her in the White House she will be in the White House) we will again have another usurper in the White House and to this day we are still feeling the acts of Barack Obama in his 3 term. BTW…..if you want Ted Cruz to never be President this bill would have done that because we have the proof that Cruz is a natural born citizen of Canada not America. There is nothing in this bill that talks about mental ability or criminal charges. We are only interested in candidates on the ballot in TN that is eligible according to the law of the land our Constitution. Did you did this to garner brownie points or perhaps you think it will get you new paying subscribers but you surely did not do the job of a real investigative journalist. I know this bill from top to bottom and I KNOW the intent of this bill because I gave it to Rep. Hulsey. This bill would have caused harm only to Nikki Haley. Gee, are you working on her campaign too, just sayin?? I provided my phone number several times on your twitter feed and my phone has not rung just like Sen. Niceley or Rep. Hulsey who never got a call from you either. Why is that? I believe it is because you were not interested in the truth. You wanted a story and just the MSM you ran with what you felt would get you attention.
Do you expect anyone to read that load of BS you just dropped? If you don’t like what she says then don’t come to this site.
