"Colorado Secretary of State Urges Supreme Court to Disqualify Trump from Ballot"

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has urged the Supreme Court to uphold the state's ability to exclude former President Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot due to his actions leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. The case revolves around whether Trump "engaged in insurrection" under the 14th Amendment and is therefore ineligible to serve as president. Griswold's brief defends Colorado's process for determining candidate eligibility, arguing that the state should not be compelled to include a candidate found to have violated his oath to support the Constitution. The outcome of this case could have implications for other states' ballot access rules.
