"Illinois Group Invokes 14th Amendment in Bid to Disqualify Trump from 2024 Ballot"

An Illinois group, Free Speech for People, has filed an objection to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's 2024 presidential ballot, citing a violation of the Constitution's insurrection clause due to his actions related to the January 6th Capitol insurrection. Trump has already been removed from ballots in Colorado and Maine and has appealed those decisions to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Illinois Republican Party has stated its neutrality and criticized the move as an attempt to undermine democracy and limit voters' rights.
