    They’re going to, probably in every single red state.

    They’re going to throw so much shit at the wall due to election ballot timing that unfortunately I think something will stick… it more than likely wont be legitimate, but we have way too many corrupt judges out there :(

      If there is any way Mississippi and Arkansas can keep a black woman Democrat off the ballot, they will find it.

          Except other states could use that as a case to federally disqualify a candidate. “Well they weren’t on the ballot in all the states, can this be said to be a representative vote?”

            Ironically, this is where the SC’s ruling to keep Trump on the ballot can be helpful. Because as long as the proper paperwork is filed in time, the committee can nominate whoever it wants, and the state doesn’t have the power to disqualify someone.

        It’s a good thing we had no chance of winning those states then lol.

        If they did, it might actually drive up voter enthusiasm around the country. So I could see it backfiring spectacularly.

      I don’t think it’s a given that something will stick in a way that actually throws a wrench in the election. It would have to be in a swing state, the judge would have to be willing to become infamous around the world, and willing to ignore the precedent that generally political parties can choose candidates how they want and of course a nominee can decline the nomination.

      Oh fuck, Aileen Cannon exists…
