TL;DR Summary

The Illinois State Board of Elections is set to decide whether to remove Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot based on a recommendation citing the Constitution's insurrection provision. The petition, filed by five voters, argues that Trump is ineligible under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment due to his alleged involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. The board's decision, which is similar to efforts in other states, is expected to be influenced by the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court hearing on a similar case from Colorado.
