    Trump will be disqualified in most states preventing him from winning the Republican nomination.

    I doubt this really happens. Trump may only be disqualified in a handful of states which he would have lost anyway, and even if that happens I wouldn’t put it past Republicans to ignore it and nominate him anyway.

    They might even declare the whole thing unlawful interference on the part of the Biden administration, and send their own electors from those states again. Who’s gonna stop them? The Supreme Court?

        An interesting theory, we’ll see if it stands up to the scrutiny of the Supreme Court. We know how ethical and even-handed that group is in interpreting the law.
