Subject: Re: The 14th yet again
So, for those arguing that section 3 of the 14th amendment doesn't disqualify Trump from being on the ballot in 2024 based on what he is known to have said and done on Jan 6, 2021 to instigate, encourage and fail to defuse an insurrection, is there any further action Trump could have taken that would have disqualified him? - g01

The SCOTUS position appears to be that a State is not the party to enforce the 14th amendment and any action under that amendment would have to be taken up by congress.

If congress were to take up an action to block a candidate, I could at least express my opinion through my congressman, something I can't do when it's a third party state government doing the disqualifying.

So to answer your question, I can't think of anything that should give you the power to prevent me from voting for anyone, let alone a highly popular candidate. Elections are exactly the way to settle such disagreements.
