States actually have quite a lot of control of who to put on their ballots. The prelude to the First Civil War had quite a lot of slaving garbage states, like Texas, only state to fight a war for slavery twice, not carrying Lincoln on the ballots, for example.
Colorado had to go through legal challenges and courts to remove a twice impeached rapist that’s hell bent on turning America into his own personal bank, but Texas can just remove people at will?
I think any state could, if they don’t have a legal system in place for that or just don’t care about it. Look at how some R states were/did change their laws so if they decide they don’t like the outcome of an election (claiming it was ‘rigged’ or whatever), the legislature can just pick a winner themselves.
