I agree this will be turned over, but I disagree with most of your points.

What due process is Trump “entitled” to. He was/is not deprived of his life, liberty, or property as a result of this.

Federal Authority for the Presidential election is specifically granted to the states in the Constitution. In a lot of election cases, the SCOTUS has indicated the States run the show and they tend of stay out of their decisions.

I agree with #3. (Not that you need my agreement.

#4 and #5 are civil cases. Good luck finding a court that will listen to that.

All this crap will lead to is a tit for tat cycle that will get us nowhere.

Preventing someone, who is qualified by the Constitution, to run for office is a deprivation of liberty. That hold true for the individual and the masses. To remove that liberty requires due process. Due process for a sitting POTUS is via the impeachment process. Trying and convicting a POTUS is not a right of a state.

Federal authority for states to run an election. Run, does not mean to try and convict of federal crimes without due process. Run, does not mean to block eligible voters from being on the ballot for political gain. Run does not mean to exclude the voices of citizens. Run means to administer, not to interfere or to exclude the voice of the people.

Those States and individuals who participated beyond their authority, will be liable to civil actions, and those damages could be extremely expensive.
