Yeah, no indication whatsoever except the titles and text of the goddamn articles. Titles are written to catch attention. The articles themselves pointed out exactly what happened, that the Democrats brought legal challenges that were found valid by the courts, and that's why those republicans weren't on the ballot. The Republicans have done the same. Both parties bring such challenges in every election.
yes, the Democrats did it. The election committee doesn't challenge ballot eligibility; rival parties do.
No, the Democrats didn't do it--the courts did. While it's true that the Democrats did rightfully and legally bring the challenges, if they were not valid challenges those Republicans would have been allowed on the ballot. The courts found the challenges valid, and that's why they were "knocked off."
I'm sure that if the Republicans or Libertarians had brought valid challenges to the courts that resulted in Democratic or Green Party Candidates being knocked off the ballot, you'd be cheering, and decrying the corruption of the Democrats and Greens.
