TL;DR Summary

A group of Illinois voters has filed a petition to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot, citing a violation of the Constitution's 14th Amendment following his alleged involvement in the January 6 Capitol riots. The petitioners argue that Trump's actions constitute insurrection, which should disqualify him from holding office under the Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause. Similar legal challenges have been made in other states, with varying outcomes. The Trump campaign is currently appealing decisions that have disqualified him from primary ballots in Colorado and Maine.
