@trollslayer hence the reason for question! 😆 I was wondering why his supporters were so vocal about states removing him, considering I was under the belief he could be written in.
@Yourguyinthecity To date, I don’t think a write-in candidate for president has ever even come close to winning. Regarding Trump, I understand some Republicans want him removed from the ballot because they worry he may split the GOP vote in ‘24. Some Democrats want him kept on the ballot for that same reason.
It depends on the state. Some states don't allow write-in candidates, while others require the write-in to be formally registered. Here's the breakdown:
@bijouxbroussard It's virtually impossible for presidential candidates because of the winner-take-all system in each state under the Electoral College. The only way it would work is if a popular candidate like Trump was declared ineligible, then after the ballots were printed, his ineligibility was reversed. The Republican candidate would then have to drop out.
