If you were wondering..if a state decides that Trump is not eligible ... how long would it take to get that up to SCOTUS ?

In most states there is an admin agency that will look into the matter ... like a election board or commission. They have strict time limits as to when you can complain to them. After they get a complaint this is usually decided within 30 days.

Not happy with result, appeal to lowest court is the usual option. Now courts put election cases as top priority so the case maybe at the lowest court for less than a month. Appeal that lower court decision? Reviewing courts, up to SCOTUS, can require briefs very quickly and can decide cases in a week or even less..even in a day. As time limits to the election come up.

Recall Trump is running as a GOP party candidate so most rules he needs to meet are party rules. The number of rules he has to meet by the government is not many..usually just the party submitting their forms, usually a single page from Trump stating that he was chosen by the party and maybe some other info.

My state has begun publishing online the party endorsements...you can here as 2022 example:

I have not seen a candidate who did not get on the ballot because a court was dragging its feet.

Oh, I did see at least one court case where a democrat filed an objection to Trump being on the ballot already.

LOL stupid idiot, was not a member of the party and therefore lacked standing. Case was dismissed in 20 seconds.
