    The ballots still have blanks even the digital ones. You can vote for yourself. Or Trump or whichever of the duopoly candidates was removed from the ballot in your state.

    But it does hurt the perceived legitimacy of the election. I had thought the reason so many stop the steal legislators did a 180 after the capital riots was that owning the libs wasn’t worth endangering bourgeois rule.

    This is shortsighted of the duopoly to say the least.

      I think you’ve nailed the problem on the head. If the election goes forward where some states allow one candidate and others allow the other, then whoever wins will lack legitimacy in the eyes of the public. Whichever side loses will immediately claim that the election was unfair and that the results should be overturned. This gets US a step closer to the civil war scenario.

      From what I’ve seen- it looks like it’s not merely a matter of removing him from the ballots, but ruling him as “ineligible” for presidency- votes for him will be disqualified (if this isn’t shot down by the US supreme court) basically. People will be able to throw away their vote by writing him in, but even if the majority of the population did- he would still be “ineligible.”
