What’s the viability of this tactic in most states? I don’t even think most states prevent the electoral college electors from just picking whoever they want, so R in states that try to prevent him running can just run his VP as P (and Milo Yianoppolous or something as a fake VP) then just vote for Trump if their district votes R.

  1. Is the state gerrymandered to hell in favor of Republicans? - Trump will be on the ticket.

  2. Any other state: Serious ability to keep him off the ticket. I suspect once he's convicted and in prison or escaped to Russia there will be even more with him not on the ballot.

  3. Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin will have him on the ballot anyway.

Yep, and Republicans are going to end up impeaching her to try to stop the redistricting.

They'll be in for a surprise when they get a constitutional crisis when Evers reassigns her to the same seat. They'll be in for more when the capitol and their homes are shut down by non-stop protests when they do.
