States rights eh? Nice. I can't see how that would be a problem when we are talking about electing the president of the United States.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. State control over federal elections has always been fundamental to US federalism.

I suppose that is true. But if this is the path you and dems want to go, I could easily see swing states that have red legislatures just removing the Dem candidate from the ballot with very flimsy justification. Think states like Florida, Wisconsin, Oregon, Ohio, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, just not having the Dem candidate on the ballot ever.

In 2020 if Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Virginia didn't have Biden on the ballot, Trump wins.

They're going to do that anyway. There's no point in playing the appeasement game.
