Ive heard this has been floated in various states (since Trumps actions have clearly violated their state laws when it comes to candidacy)

… I wonder how this would look if a candidate appeared on a ballot in one state and not in another?

It’s a pretty interesting scenario to imagine. What is bothersome is that I can’t see a situation where it wouldn’t lead to more right wing domestic terrorism. Which is just terrible, but almost seems inevitable next year no matter what happens really. Here is hoping we get through this with as little harm as possible.
