There are no legal hurdles. The private organization can nominate whomever they want regardless of their votes and their rules.

The legal hurdles are around getting their candidate on state ballots

Nice insight. Democratic Secretaries of State will find a way. But, Republican Secretaries of State will definitely resist.

I want to be of a mind that they made the bed to exclude third parties and now should lie in it. But, perhaps this is an opportunity to change the rules of ballot access for the better.

The legal hurdles aren’t in the nomination, they’re in monies donated directly to the Biden/Harris campaign

The only way money is beholden to a campaign is because a major donor insisted upon it. And, no one is asking for a refund on executive and legislative influence.
