Idaho requires independent presidential candidate petitions to include a vice presidential candidate as well. However, Idaho permits a stand-in for vice-president. In February, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. filed a constitutional challenge to the requirement that the petition list anyone for vice president. Team Kennedy v McGrane, 1:24cv-83.
On September 4, U.S. District Court Judge B. Lynn Winmill refused to dismiss the case. The state had argued that because it permits stand-ins for vice president, its requirement does no harm. But the judge said that Kennedy had presented evidence and reasoning that suggests the requirement does impair independent presidential candidates, and that the equal protection claim is plausible. Therefore, the case will continue. Here is the ruling keeping the case alive.
Meanwhile, Trump will finish his interrupted rally in Butler PA tomorrow and Elon Musk plans to be there.

Harris tax rate; infinity. They’ll achieve zero carbon through global thermonuclear world war.
State identification, even in Idaho, whether for the ego, id, superego, or any fraudian slip, is no reason to abolish the electoral college, unless it’s because we at long last abolish the union between uS States.
The actual record of the Electoral College is quite good. There has been only one election in which a candidate for President had a clear majority of the popular vote, but lost the electoral vote (Tilden in 1876). Tilden actually had the electoral vote as well on election night, but had electors taken away from him by selective disqualification.
Every other case in which a candidate lost the electoral vote in spite of having more popular votes was the case of a candidate with less than 50% of the popular vote. If we get rid of the Electoral College, there would have to be some sort of run-off.
But, we DON’T need to do that. In fact, it is unlikely that we will any time soon. If states had some sort of provision for run-off voting in those cases when no candidate gets a majority of the popular vote in a state, that would resolve the election much better.
It would be better to dissolve the union.

As I have pointed out in the past, secession is a cure that would be worse than the disease. Borders, borders everywhere, and no one able to control them. At ALL. On ANY level.

Baloney. States, counties and cities could control borders just fine, as could boroughs or townships.
Enough with the illegals, illegals voting, illegal votes and all the illegal crap. For real! Get em out!
Many residents of SECEDING states will ignore new borders with non-seceding states. It will be crazy.
LOL . It won’t be like the Mexican border. There will be real, very serious and severe, swift and certain consequences for illegal crossing. If you ain’t from my neck of the woods, you best turn around and go right on back where you came from if’n you know what’s good for you, bubba.
“It won’t be like the Mexican border”
It will be WORSE. You won’t be dealing just with foreign immigrants. You will be dealing with Americans who just want to go about their business and go from one place to another
