SCOTUS would have to rule that States can not hold their own elections which would violate the Consitution. Odds are they won't hear the case.

SCOTUS these days can and will make up whatveer the fuck rationalization they want to justify any decision, and then tagline it with "but this only applies to this one specific scenario" to keep from locking themselves out of ruling the opposite way next time.

Last year (or earlier this year?) they ruled on a case where the event that triggered the suit was literally made up and never happened, and everyone knew it.

No, all they have to do is say that the POTUS is not an "Officer" therefore loophole for exactly one person in history.

they'll figure out some way to make it a "compelled speech" issue that violates the first amendment.
