TL;DR Summary

Donald Trump has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to allow his name to remain on primary ballots, challenging a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that deemed him ineligible due to alleged insurrection. The Colorado court's decision was based on a post-Civil War constitutional provision barring insurrectionists from office. Trump's legal team argues that this disenfranchises voters and that states lack the authority to enforce this provision. The Supreme Court's decision on this matter could significantly influence the 2024 presidential election and the interpretation of the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause.
