TL;DR Summary

Colorado voters have asked the Supreme Court to prevent Donald Trump from appearing on the state's primary ballot, citing his involvement in the Capitol attack. The case, which will be heard on Feb. 8, revolves around whether a post-Civil War provision disqualifies Trump from holding office. Similar efforts are underway in other states. Trump's lawyers argue that the provision does not apply to the presidency, while the voters maintain that Trump cannot return to office after engaging in insurrection. The decision will impact the 2024 presidential election and could settle the issue in other states.
