He is guilty of insurrection and there's a phone call of him committing direct electoral fraud.

It's very reasonable and within legal precedent for voters not to want someone committed to being a dictator and guilty of insurrection on a ballot.

Also, the constitution seems to require it.

You can't just ignore the constitution, even if you disagree or find it inconvenient.

It's the supreme law of the land and it must be followed.

Otherwise, California might as well send 10 senators to Washington. That would be fair, compared to Wyoming. And since we are ignoring the Constitution, what's an extra Senator or 8 between friends?
