They'll just have to resort to fraud again to defeat their opponents.
Vote fraud is rampant in Arizona - ask Kari Lake.
So, for the Democrats it doesn’t matter if Trump is on the ballot or not.

What happens when their anti-Trump lawfare operation fails AND their 14th Amendment effort fails, how far will they go when it comes to ridding the country of the “threat” posed by Trump? I have no doubt that the ultimate removal is already in the planning stages.
No state can bar him. The qualifications for President are defined by the Constitution, not by the states.
Is this guy really a Democrat???
The absolute corruption and stupidity of democrats like this is just amazing. They seem to ignore the fact that in the Smith indictment and in the charging of all the J6ers, not a single one was charged with insurrection. So how the heck does this idiot and the other democrat idiots think they can keep Trump off the ballot when insurrection has not been charged let alone proved. Oh, I know, cause they want it to be. Mental illness is rampant among democrats.
“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment does not cover the Presidency. It only mentions “ELECTORS OF PRESIDENT”. In addition, the Office of the President has NEVER been considered an office UNDER the United States and in David McKnight’s 1878 widely referenced book on the electoral system of the United States he writes that the Presidency is obviously not an office under the United States. Since the 14th Amendment was written in 1865/66, McKnight’s view in 1878 is much more in line with the thinking of the time than modern opinions 140+ years later.
But...there's no election Wednesday and I'm definitely barring him next November! Editors. [eyeroll]
This will not stop other blue states from trying to do this end around of the Constitution.
OMG; an honest Democrat?
If someone burns the Runbeck facility down, they’ll need to bar Trump.
Barnes and I have said this from the get-go. Unconstitutional, and declared so in the Cawthorn and MTG cases.
So they’ll do what they did the last two elections.
No biggie.
What Barnes and I have said for months.
The fact that a Secretary of State makes a grand announcement that he will follow the law, as if he’s being magnanimous in doing so, is yet another symptom of our completely screwed up government. And had the state Supreme Court not ruled against him, he would have definitely proceeded with his unconstitutional, lawless plan.
Dem calls for the governor to fire him in 5, 4, 3, ...
BTTT
They need a ‘Republican’ SOS to do it first to provide ‘cover’.
Listen to this man very closely. He’s actually telling the Arizona legislature to change the law.
