"Trump's Ballot Eligibility: Supreme Court Rulings and State Decisions"

The US Supreme Court is set to issue a ruling on Monday, the day before Colorado's presidential primary election, regarding a lower court's decision to remove Donald Trump from the ballot due to his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. The court's decision could impact Trump's eligibility in 15 states and a US territory holding primary elections on "Super Tuesday." Additionally, the Supreme Court has agreed to decide on Trump's claim of immunity from prosecution for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results, with legal experts predicting a rejection of his immunity claim.

"Supreme Court Considers Trump's Ballot Case Amidst Election Controversy"

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments next week regarding an appeal of the Colorado Supreme Court's decision finding former President Donald Trump ineligible for the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has been granted 10 minutes to address state-law and state-level election-administration issues during the oral arguments. The Colorado court's ruling disqualifying Trump was based on his actions around the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, but a stay is in place pending the appeal, allowing Trump to appear on Colorado's March 5 presidential primary ballot.

Maine Supreme Court Denies Appeal in Trump Ballot Eligibility Case

The Maine Supreme Court has dismissed Secretary of State Shenna Bellows' appeal in the case to keep former President Donald Trump off the ballot, citing the absence of a final judgment in the Kennebec County Superior Court. Bellows had previously ruled that Trump violated his constitutional oath and was not qualified to hold the office of the President under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, but stated that she would wait for court rulings before officially removing his name from any ballots.

"State Officials Take Legal Action in Trump Ballot Controversy"

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has appealed the Kennebec County Superior Court's decision to keep former President Donald Trump off the ballot, citing his violation of the 14th Amendment. Bellows had initially ruled to remove Trump from the ballot, but the court agreed to wait for the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on a similar case in Colorado. Trump's legal team had requested the delay, which was granted, but the court denied claims of bias. Bellows has now appealed to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, seeking a ruling before ballots are counted to ensure trust in the state's elections.
