This has an interesting potential given that the RNC Convention will be in Milwaukee, WI July 15, 2024.

They'll appeal. This guy won't be in jail for the election.

Not sure what that has to do with the potential for shenanigans given the public news of a sentencing date being 4 days before the nominating convention, but ok.
