The Supreme Court of Colorado has ruled that former President Donald Trump's name will not appear on the Republican Party's primary ballot. The court's decision is based on Trump's engagement in insurrection and violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
On March 5, 2024, the people of Colorado will vote in a 'primary election' to determine which candidates can compete for the US presidency in November. The question now looming is whether former President Donald Trump 's name will appear on the Republican Party's primary ballot . In a recent decision — variously characterized as a 'bombshell,' 'explosive' and 'a huge moment for democracy' — the Supreme Court of Colorado answered 'no.
' A 4-3 majority on the court ruled that Trump's fate was sealed by Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, which prohibits 'insurrectionists' from holding federal or state office. The court's decision follows from a lower state court determination that Trump engaged in insurrection in late 2020 and early 2021 by knowingly and intentionally seeking to disrupt the orderly transition of power. In addition to lying about election fraud, he also incited his followers to disrupt the counting of electoral votes and simultaneously participated in a plan to replace certified state electors with fake pro-Trump slates
