"Voters in Illinois and Massachusetts Push to Exclude Trump from 2024 Ballot Amid Insurrection Claims"

A bipartisan group of voters in Massachusetts has filed a challenge to prevent former President Donald Trump from appearing on the Republican primary ballot, citing his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. They argue that Trump's actions make him ineligible under the 14th Amendment's Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause. The State Ballot Commission must decide on the challenge by January 29, while the Supreme Court is set to hear Trump's appeal regarding similar ballot exclusions in Colorado and Maine. The Massachusetts Republican Party opposes the challenge, emphasizing the importance of voters determining candidate suitability.
