Sure. Anyone can talk. They won't do it.

Republicans Move to Remove Biden from 2024 Ballots in Three Swing States

There is 0 chance this will stand after review by the SCOTUS. All the Colorado supremes did was embarass themselves. Perhaps this can now start an impeachment process on them.

Despite online hysteria, to be abundantly clear, President Trump remains on Colorado’s primary ballot, since the state’s Supreme Court stayed its own order pending appeal. Nothing will change until the appeal is resolved, one way or the other. If the primary happens first, then the whole case will be mooted, and I would not be surprised if that is what happens.

But yesterday the process started all over again in Maine. The New York Times ran a non-paywalled story misleadingly-headlined, “Maine Joins Colorado in Finding Trump Ineligible for Primary Ballot.” That headline is misleading because, unlike Colorado, there was no court decision in Maine; just the unilateral action of its Trump-deranged democrat Secretary of State, Shenna Bellows.

Ms. Bellows, who before she took office used to run Maine’s ACLU, reviewed a citizen complaint and “ruled” that Trump lied on his application form, because he checked a box that says he is “qualified” to run for President but he was not actually qualified, because January 6th:

“I am mindful that no secretary of state has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection,” Ms. Bellows, a Democrat, wrote.
This Maine story represents nothing but the very first step in the very same democrat challenge brought in thirty different states over the last few weeks. Later in the Times article, the paper admitted the Secretary of State’s decision was a pre-condition to bringing a legal challenge:

Because of a quirk in Maine’s Constitution, (to challenge Trump’s qualifications in court) registered voters there must first file a petition with the secretary of state. Mr. Trump can appeal Ms. Bellows’s decision to Maine’s Superior Court within five days. Her order will not go into effect until the court rules on an appeal, which the Trump campaign says it intends to file soon.

Republican primaries in Maine and Colorado are both scheduled for March 5th, also known as “Super Tuesday” (when many states hold primaries). Meanwhile, California’s democrat Secretary of State just announced she would not remove Trump from that state’s ballot. She might have been informed by recent federal court dismissals of two lawsuits challenging President Trump’s qualifications on the same grounds.

North Caroiina kicks all Biden primary challengers off the ballot, like Florida did.

Even if the Colorado decision stands (and personally I don't think it will) what would prevent people from simply writing in Trump, even if he's not "on" the ballot per se?

Because the Colorado decision specifically included disregarding any write-in votes for Trump.
