    The supreme court case that follows is what they are referring to and that CAN affect other states

      Except that’s my point. SCOTUS has held that up every step of the way. Even with how absolutely fucked the current court is, I honestly doubt they’re going to decide to throw state’s rights to control their elections out the window, considering they’d effectively be signing the electoral college’s death warrant

        There are two issues here. I don’t think the Supreme Court can’t decide if he goes on the ballot, but they can decide if he’s eligible to become president.

        States can put Trump on the ballot and send electors for him, but if the Supreme Court rules that he’s ineligible, he can no more become president than if he were a child or a foreign national.

        (Caveat: IANAL)
