    NAL, but almost certainly not. Governors don’t get to decide who gets to appear on a ballot. Trump got removed, because he was found to have participated in an insurrection, a clear violation of the 14th Amendment.

    If they want to remove Biden, they’ll have to prove he did something disqualifying.

        But they have to prove it in court, and failing to do that might set some ugly precedents they will come to regret

          But they would “prove” it in court. You don’t think the Supreme Court in Texas is stacked with conservatives who would rubber stamp “Biden is an insurrectionist”?

            That would be a wrapped present for Biden. Hopefully they do.

        Or do like Florida did and literally change the law so that it better suits their political machinations.
