Then you clearly were not paying attention because the number one issue is ballot access. It is too late. No other candidate can be on the ballots in many (if not all states).
That is a full stop no go right there.
The two examples he gave have already been addressed by legislation in those states. There is no issue in any other state as far as I can tell.
How so? The legislation in those states has no mechanism for changing the ballots that I am aware of. You would run a significant risk of have ballots in multiple states with only Trump's name on them.
The legislation extended the date of submission for the candidates to after the DNC. The ballots are not finalized until after that date as far as I can tell.

Well then, I guess you should send the video to the DNC, since some YouTuber apparently knows more than the entire political apparatus that does this for a living and somehow doesn't know how anything about how elections work. Do you really think they would be stupid enough to change everything without first making sure their plan was even possible?
I don't think THEY would be stupid enough, but this was aimed at helping the everyday folk, aka, you and me understand and think of the ramifications..
