TL;DR Summary

In Massachusetts, a group of voters backed by the advocacy group "Free Speech For People" and a civil rights firm have filed an objection to prevent former President Donald Trump from appearing on the 2024 Republican primary and general election ballots. They cite the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause, referencing Trump's alleged role in the January 6 Capitol attack. Similar actions have been taken in Maine and Colorado, and the issue may be addressed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin and the MassGOP have expressed concerns about setting a precedent that undermines the democratic process.
