"Trump's Colorado Ballot Trial: Democracy at Stake"

TL;DR Summary
The trial to determine whether Donald Trump will be allowed on Colorado's ballot began with both sides arguing that American democracy is at stake. The plaintiffs seek to tie Trump to the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021, and prevent him from running for office based on the 14th Amendment. The defense argues that Trump did not incite the violence and that the lawsuit's charge is nebulous. The trial is expected to last five days, with a ruling expected by the end of November. The case could potentially reach the state or federal Supreme Court.
