AggieHank you have to be the worst lawyer in history. The 14th Amendment didn’t exist in 1860. Using Lincoln as an example to say there is precedent for keeping Trump off the ballot in 2024 is just nonsense.
Also Lincoln was not on the ballot in 10 states in 1960 because there was no republican party presence in those states. No republican presence in those states means that there was no one to collect signatures, canvass, campaign for, or do any of the other things that would be required to get him on the ballot in those states. States didn’t actively try and keep him off the ballot through legal or judicial action.
