"Voters Challenge Trump's Eligibility for 2024 Ballot in Illinois and Massachusetts"

A civil rights group and a local attorney in Massachusetts have filed a legal challenge to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's presidential ballot, citing his alleged involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack as a violation of the Constitution's insurrection clause. This follows similar decisions by the Colorado Supreme Court and Maine Secretary of State to disqualify Trump from their ballots. The Massachusetts Republican Party opposes the move, and Trump's campaign denies any involvement in an insurrection. Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin mentioned the possibility of Trump running as a write-in candidate and emphasized the importance of participating in democracy. The case awaits a decisive decision from the U.S. Supreme Court regarding Trump's eligibility.
