Well, all the States that are pulling this nonsense need a look at Sec. 2 and 5 of Amend. XIV and Congress needs to start applying it as prudent:

. . . But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

Section 5.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

* Noting that under the 19th and 26th Amends. females and those 18 or older would qualify under this Section.

Removing party nominated candidates from their ballot is a method of depriving (i.e., abridging) one's vote. Hawaii's current congressional delegation in the 118th Congress consists of its two representatives, all of whom are Democrats. ...Start packing your bags kiddo!
