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]).

Exactly. Each state can’t have its own candidate qualification criteria.
Otherwise you’d never get a candidate to appear on all 50 ballots.
That’s why this is doomed at SCOTUS.
What will be great will be the epic bitch-slapping in their opinion.
Can’t wait to read it and the ensuing melts from progs and demands to pack the court.

Yes, candidate qualification to hold the office of President is federal.The states must apply the requirements when putting names on the ballot.

You're pretty close with this assessment, but in truth there are NO Federal elections. All elections are coordinated by the states. However, you are 100% correct in asserting that the 14th Amendment is a federal issue and, if the states cannot act to curb illegal immigration because it is a federal issue, neither can they act upon a 14th Amendment issue in this regard. Furthermore, Trump has not been tried and found guilty of sedition so using the 14th Amendment argument is a failure on that ground as well.
Colorado done f***ed up with this one. Showing their true colors. Colorado is a Red state in the same way the Bolsheviks were Red.
