Democrats file suit to keep two-time Republican candidate off ballot for Missouri House seat

In his third bid for the legislature, John Boyd switched parties; lawsuit claims right to not be associated with him.

Democrats want to kick a candidate off the ballot in the race for a Kansas City-area Missouri House seat, claiming the Grandview man who filed in the 36th District contest is actually “a longtime Republican and vocal opponent of the Democratic Party.”

John D. Boyd Jr. filed for the seat on Feb. 22 after paying the $100 fee to Democratic Party. He has run twice in the district as a Republican, taking 40.9% against an incumbent in 2018 and 42.9% in the general election for an open seat in 2020. Boyd was also a candidate for mayor of Grandview in the April 2021 election, taking 23.7% of the vote in the nonpartisan election.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday in Cole County, claims the party has First Amendment and 14th Amendment rights of association and that the 36th Democratic House District Committee voted unanimously not to be associated with Boyd.

Along with a history of running as a Republican and making minor contributions to Republican committees, Boyd also “has at least twice had full orders of protection entered against him (and) has a history of not paying his taxes…”

8. Michelle Caruso Cabrera ran as a Democrat trying to unseat AOC.

She is very right wing.

12. I bet a couple of them may be the usual suspects.

Note that a couple of them have been absent for over a month and they were prolific posters….maybe they were the same person which would make sense…perhaps they quietly got banned.

10. Every one of these assholes needs to be exposed!

Before the Florida candidate scam I never would have thought someone could go so low getting a fake candidate in the elections trying to suck voters from the democrat running. I now take nothing for granted.

Republicans are beyond evil if they support such a thing.

Expose them, and if a state or federal law doesn’t make this a crime already make one!

13. Can a mere facial expression convey the evil within?

Not certain, but suffice to say this dude makes Amon Bundy look like a Mr. Rogers.

14. omg really omg

Republicans will do anything, anything to control their horrendous agenda.

I am truly relieved the Dems filed suit..just wow.
