New York may take Donald Trump off ballot
newsweek.com

The New York State Board of Elections is opting to wait for the courts to rule on the eligibility of former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, signaling that the board would be open to taking his name off state ballots.

In a November 3 letter, the NYSBOE informed U.S. District Judge Glenn Suddaby that the state agency is taking "no position" in the matter of Trump's candidacy and that it will "abide by any orders of judgements of the court."

I predict he will ultimately not be removed from any ballot in any state, even if the Supreme Court has to intervene.

even if the Supreme Court has to intervene.

You're absolutely right, and it would a total reversal of the courts conservative movement towards states rights.

Is there a chance that he'd win any of the states that are threatening to take him off the ballot?

Are there any other repercussions (other than not getting votes) to being excluded from some state ballots?

If removed from a swing state or a tradional GOP state, makes it harder to get enough electoral college votes.

Especially if. And really, you could take him off the ballot in many places (non-swing state) and have little effect.
