    You keep missing the point. Him being removed from the ballot is not automatic. Whether or not it should be is irrelevant. If the SoS in GA wants to keep Trump on the ballot, he’s going to be able to do that until a judge shuts him down, and maybe not even then. Same with LA or any other red state. It would be far from the first time the GOP just ignored the law because fuck you that’s why.

    Look at what we’ve seen with gerrymandered maps in the past. We’ve seen multiple occasions where the courts tell states to redraw the maps, and they just stall out and defy the orders until it’s too late, then they say “it’s too late to redraw the maps now; we’re gonna just have to use the old maps I guess. Golly gee darn, I wonder how that happened?”. And what did they get in return? GOP control of the House.

    Who’s to say they won’t do the same thing here? “Sorry, but the ballots were already being printed while we went through the appeal process. It’s too late to print all new ballots now, so I guess Trump’s name is just gonna have to stay.”.
