If Trump loses then it means any state can arbitrarily keep any candidate off the ballot by calling them an insurrectionist. You could have different candidates in every single state.
Yes, the result could be election chaos. But the end of this maneuver is to keep Donald Trump off the 2024 ballot at any cost whatsoever. What matters is what happens now, not what may happen in the future. (/liberal)
“...by calling them an insurrectionist...”
It doesn’t just have to be insurrection. They could say any type of crime from murder to littering. It becomes a state issue as they run the elections. All the feds do is verify the count. And it is not without their determination to add to the Constitution through theirs and there’s nothing can be done about it by the feds or the next state, or even a minority within the state. So, they cannot make it weaker, but they can make it stronger. It’s their game to play.

I still don’t see where “Presidential elections” and “Ballots” exist in the Constitution.
A literal reading of XIV would conclude that the prohibition (if it exists at all) is a prohibition against TAKING OFFICE, and has nothing to do with the selection method.
Not really- on,y liberal states will be allowed to falsely accuse someone of insurrection- and msm will back them up, and the low informstion sheep in the nation will be convinced it is true
But when a republican tries to do the same to a liberal, the left will go mental and accuse the right of “trying,to destroy democracy “ and accuse them of insurrection- and the lying feckless msm will beat the drum as long as necessary to convince the public of it
The game is rigged
:: it means any state can arbitrarily keep any candidate off the ballot by calling them an insurrectionist ::
And any campaign against the standing administration will be termed an insurrection.
