The fuck. So because they’re a third party they can’t run for president and instead have to run for presidential elector on behalf of their presidential candidate so people can vote for not the electors but rather the actual candidate who gets put on the ballot, which will then get counted in favour of the electors running. This is different to how things are done with democrats/republicans apparently, who run for president and then presumably nominate electors, so people can vote for that candidate which then gets counted in favour of the electors. Just like with a third party.
Funny that liberals suddenly understand how voting suppression and using laws in frivolous ways works. But when it's a republican?
