I'm pretty sure that a felony conviction can't be used to bar someone from the ballot for President, Senate, or House. I don't think that's been ruled on (AFAIK, it never came up), but if they follow precedent it would be struck down.Agreed. We need to get guidance from SCOTUS on this matter.
I hope they tell the states to just chill. That absent a felony conviction and a state law that prohibits felons from being on the ballot, anyone who meets the constitutional requirements can be on the ballot.
You should be able to vote for anyone you wish to vote for who is otherwise eligible to hold the office.
