If the charge itself isn’t sufficient to gag him, restrict travel, etc, then don’t be surprised if a bunch of blue states start trying to pass new laws blocking anyone under federal indictment from appearing on their ballots. I’m no lawyer but I know the states have pretty much unlimited control of their own elections, including those for President.
Ask yourself and be honest - given everything that has happened since Jan 6, do you REALLY expect Trump’s name to appear on the ballot in all 50 states regardless of indictments/trials?
They babble all the time about “existential threats” but there is really only one threat to the Democrat-Media-Elitist Complex: Trump.
Other than the popular vote. Does trump really need to be on the ballot in the blue states that will go rat no matter what?
IGT will take them WEEKS to count the WRITE IN VOTES.

No I don’t unfortunately.

Negative, bigbob. That is why Marc Elias was so successful in manipulating election rules and laws all over the country.
NC recently took a case to the Supreme Court, Moore v Harper. Despite the Constitution being very clear that state legislatures have the sole authority to make the rules, it appears that SCOTUS thought otherwise, by saying they do.
Which I find interesting since, after the 2020 debacle, that same SCOTUS ruled that they have no authority over how elections and voting was done, IIRC.
Perhaps someone more legal minded can verify my statement on SCOTUS and the Moore case.
Not Constitutional. Would be prevented by the Supreme Court. Even Eugene Debs who was imprisoned for sedition appeared on the 1920 presidential ballot while still in jail.
