States (and states rights’ers) (and usuall;y folks on this site) would be pretty appalled at the idea that “the federal DOJ” has jurisdiction over everything about state elections, especially in the absence of Federeal legislation even purporting to give them some authority to do something about who appears on state ballots.

I prolly didn't word that properly. What I was getting at is that since the qualifications are in the US Constitution, the DoJ would be responsible for determining who could be President. The states could have Mickey Mouse on the ballots if they so desired....that doesn't mean he would be seated if he won. Like everyone else here, I'm just trying to figure out whose responsible for seeing that the Constitution is followed.
