    If there is any way Mississippi and Arkansas can keep a black woman Democrat off the ballot, they will find it.

        Except other states could use that as a case to federally disqualify a candidate. “Well they weren’t on the ballot in all the states, can this be said to be a representative vote?”

          Ironically, this is where the SC’s ruling to keep Trump on the ballot can be helpful. Because as long as the proper paperwork is filed in time, the committee can nominate whoever it wants, and the state doesn’t have the power to disqualify someone.

      It’s a good thing we had no chance of winning those states then lol.

      If they did, it might actually drive up voter enthusiasm around the country. So I could see it backfiring spectacularly.
