Why isn’t this a Federal issue? The office he’s running for isn’t a state office, it’s a Federal office, therefore under Federal jurisdiction.
It’s a state issue because elections are held for ELECTORS, state by state.
We don’t have a truly NATIONAL election in the United States.
Because we are in our convoluted process of chosing electors and electors are chosen at the state level. Read Amendment 12. The states could have requirements to get on the ballot, and he could sue in all 57 (sic) states in state court.
It’s not a national or federal election. There is no such thing in the U.S. The POTUS is elected via 50 state elections. My $0.02.
