Wednesday or other SCOTUS experts, is this a trap?

Elections are state issues. If SCOTUS reverses this will it give precedent for elections to be federal?

Example: Down the road, fed gov wants to ban voter ID or make early voting and mail in voting nationwide. Will they vote this Trump v.Colorado case?

No. This is a separate issue.

With this sort of nefarious, insane ruling from the Democrats, what's to stop States from putting some REALLY restrictive rights on candidates and who can actually vote?

Democrats are fking Nazis.

Yes, and no. This is not about the mechanisms of the voting process, but candidate qualifications.

In that regard, federal elections are federal.

Also, this was an application of Federal Law (Constitution [14th Amendment]).

I can certainly see them baiting republicans into removing Biden as retaliation and then going full lawfare against anyone who was involved, much like Jan 6. The media will forget who did it initially and republicans will be painted as anti-democracy.

It just similar to 1960’s saying an African American or woman cannot run due to race or color of their skin.
If someone qualifies they should be able to run. This is a slippery slope.

It’s more of a substantive due process issue than it is a state election issue.

So you slept thru the 2000 election?

The Supremes took over the state of Flas procedure to select their own electors. The decision to overturn CO would be far less intrusive than 2000

1. This is a trap but not the kind you’re thinking.
They want the right to react with violence/protests

2. If you read the ruling they will “stay the ruling until Jan 4th pending USSC rule.” They know exactly what the ruling would be and don’t care

All state ballot options must be In by The 5th.

They want an extreme reaction. That’s it

State is trying to defy a Constitutional Amendment (14th) by misinterpreting it.
If a state is challenging an established CA, then the Constitution takes precedence, and the SCOTUS definitely has cause to rule on it.

I can’t imagine the SCOTUS allowing the Colorado ruling to stand. As we all know, it is the business of courts to ensure free and fair elections. This ruling will be challenged and likely reversed.

No, …. this is a sign of desperation. Can you smell the fear yet?
This will result in an emergency SC Ruling to stay the Colorado ruling. Likely in January.

Their need for control, to openly deny due process, is a response to fear.

Qualifications for being able to run for President are a Constitutional (federal) issue. Shouldn't have the effects you're worried about.
