    Not if they didn’t file the correct paperwork (on time), pay the necessary fees, and I believe, have enough qualified signatures is each state in which you want to appear on the ballot.

    Making the argument that a state can otherwise disqualify because they believe you are guilty of insurrection is now moot. 9-0.

      So states do have the right to set requirements to be on their ballot for a federal election in their state?

        Yes, as long as the requirements are uniform in every state and don’t discriminate against any particular candidate. SCOTUS affirmed that last part today.

      You just won my argument for me. Those are all state rules limiting who can be on a ballot. The state used to make the rules, now it seems there are no limitations whatsoever.
