Wouldn’t handing this back to each state be the same as letting each state decide qualifications for anyone to run for President ever? Like lower age to 18, say only certain diversity candidates, etc., at whim and ever-changing? Is no one concerned and mentioning that any candidate ever could potentially be kept off ballots for contrived reasons not subject to standards?

Any way you cut it, politics is more conservative at the state level. Movements to lower voting age, etc., have always been top-down federal movements, even when Nixon did it.

That's why, had Traitor Pence stood tall on January 6 and refused to certify the 2020 electors from the fraudulent swing states, the election would have reverted back to the state legislatures, all of which were conservative, Republican majority, and Trump would have been made POTUS.

At a minimum, it would allow any state to call any incident an “insurrection”, and thus bar any candidate involved in that incident.

Now here’s the interesting thing. The Insurrection Act of 1807 gives the president the power to declare an insurrection. And that’s it. No one else.

Yes. That’s why this decision wouldn’t surprise me.
