Trump needs to pound this for the next 8 months.
My favorite reaction so far is Jena Griswold (Colorado Secretary of State):

"My larger reaction is disappointment," Griswold said on MSNBC. "I do believe that states should be able under our constitution to bar oath-breaking insurrectionists."

"Ultimately, this decision leaves open the door for Congress to act to pass authorizing legislation, but we know that Congress is a nearly non-functioning body," she added. "So ultimately, it will be up to the American voters to save our democracy in November."
I suppose the irony of her statement is lost on her.
