    Can a governor do that, though? From my limited knowledge of US political structure, a governor is part of the executive branch, and overruling electoral process can only be done my the judicial branch.

      NAL, but almost certainly not. Governors don’t get to decide who gets to appear on a ballot. Trump got removed, because he was found to have participated in an insurrection, a clear violation of the 14th Amendment.

      If they want to remove Biden, they’ll have to prove he did something disqualifying.
