Good point. To be fair, if the bullshit he’s openly admitted to doing, and been seen doing, isn’t enough to stop him I don’t see why a couple of accusations would.
I’m not sure getting convicted technically removes his eligibility either. From what I’ve read, he could theoretically run from prison, win, and pardon himself at least at the federal level. That won’t help with state charges, but it’s a super fun constitutional crisis to consider!
How is he still eligible to be voted into office?
Because he’s legally innocent until proven otherwise and therefore has not forfeit his eligibility yet.
There is a legal process, and it should be followed.
Just because many people think he is guilty doesn’t mean that the normal juristical procesd can be skipped.
He will lose eligibility early enough (i hope)

And there’s technically nothing legally preventing a state-convicted felon from getting elected while serving his sentence in state prison.
It’s ridiculous that we’re even this close to finding out if it could happen
