Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson exposed another case of primary ballots not including the names of opponents to President Joe Biden.
The author and 2024 presidential hopeful took to social media to criticize Massachusetts Democrats' decision to protect the president by removing the names of his election rivals, calling the “pattern” a “flagrant violation” of rules.
“The DNC is at it again…” Williamson began in a series of posts on X Wednesday after the Massachusetts Democratic Party opted to include only Biden's name on the presidential primary ballot.
@stevekerrigan Dem Speaker Steve Kerrigan's misguided attempt to protect Joe Biden robs Massachusetts Democrats of their voice and choice in the next election.
This action is a flagrant violation of DNC rules and process. 2/4

“President Steve Kerrigan's misguided attempt to protect Joe Biden robs Massachusetts Democrats of their voice and their choice in the upcoming election,” Williamson wrote. “This action is a flagrant violation of DNC rules and process.”
He also called out Democrats for their “attempt to circumvent democracy” and called on Secretary of State William Galvin, a Democrat, to “protect the voters of Massachusetts.”
Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, now Massachusetts…
This is a pattern and we cannot let it continue. 4/4

A spokesman for Galvin told Politico that he “has not made a determination as to who would qualify for the ballot as a nationally recognized candidate at this time,” as the signature deadline has not yet passed.
Candidates who want to be added to the ballot must submit 2,500 signatures by Friday or, if their party does not add their names, they can go to the secretary of state to add those “recognized by national media.”
“We were going through the process as set out by the state party and the DNC, and only in the last 48 hours did we learn of the chair's decision to do this. So we were kind of stuck until the last minute,” a Williamson campaign representative told Politico, noting that the person was “on the condition of anonymity to discuss campaign strategy.”
“Where is the democracy in the Democratic Party in the great United States of America?” asked Simon Ateba, with Today News Africa.
“Where is 'Democracy is at stake and we must save it'? Where is all the talk about Trump being the one trying to end America's democracy?” he asked in a post reacting to Williamson's comments.

Williamson and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), who is also running against Biden, criticized the Florida Democratic Party's decision to exclude all but Biden from the state's ballot. Party officials nominated Biden and declared him the winner, as state election laws say an uncontested race will not appear on the state's primary ballot, according to The Washington Post.
