53. Has any of these persons advocating the replacement of President Biden looked at ballot access laws?

Ballot access litigation is strange. There are traps that could be used to keep a replacement for President Biden off the ballot. The GOP will try to use any change in the party ticket to keep the Democratic candidate off the ballot. For example, the compromise with Ohio to get President Biden on the ballot may go away if the Democratic Party changes candidates.

I've seen a lot of people telling me that this story means they think Biden is weak so they want him in the election. No...you're missing the goal here. What they are doing is declaring how they will conduct a coordinated lawfare campaign to screw the Democratic nominee.

First it will be this lawsuit. In close order various Republican AG's will sue the DNC on behalf of their citizens "who voted in good faith in the Primary for Joe Biden." Then they will launch coordinated campaigns to split the Democratic coalition. "See how they are treating Kamala?" "Why didn't they think California's governor leading the 3rd largest economy in the world should be nominee." it will be relentless and targeted to get people to stay home. Millions of dark money will go to third party candidates. Suddenly RFK Jr. will miraculously have the resources to get on every ballot...on and on and on.

They don't care who is on the ballot. They want us to spend time, money, and anger on each other and on defense so Trump simply strolls into the White House with 45% of the vote.

The Biden campaign needs to stop nevel gazing and get back in the fight. We all need to stop eating each other alive and remember the real enemy to our democracy is the one's cheering this on in Florida.

Removing President Biden from the ticket will give the GOP and the Heritage Foundation grounds to try to keep any replacement off the ballot. Removing President Biden from the ballot is a very stupid idea
