Technically I'm not even sure current convicts are barred as the Constitution doesn't say this. I really wouldn't put it past the Republicans or their voters at this stage to actually vote in Trump even if he was in a jail cell.

Now that would be one hell of a Constitutional crisis to sort out.

McConnell and the Republicans really are such a bunch of lying, 2 faced hypocritical *****. This is full on Orwellian double speak and now they are blaming Antifa and Pelosi for the storming of the capitol! They are ******* insane...
