There was a (civil) trial in Colorado where Trump was allowed to cross examine the plaintiff's witnesses, present his own evidence, even testify had he wanted to.

There was an administrative process in Maine where Trump had the right to present evidence and witnesses, but largely opted not to.

So it is not right to claim that Trump received no due process here. (And his appeal to SCOTUS is another part of that due process).

"Suppose some Republican person in charge of elections decided that Biden engaged in an insurrection and is ineligible to be on the ballot."

It is a legitimate problem.

These were NOT trials of Trump, for insurrection.
