"Illinois and Massachusetts Voters Challenge Trump's Eligibility for 2024 Ballot"

A group of voters in Illinois has filed a petition to prevent former President Donald Trump from appearing on the state's Republican primary ballot, citing his alleged involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot. This action, grounded in the 14th Amendment, follows similar petitions in other states and comes after Trump's name was already removed from ballots in Colorado and Maine. Trump is seeking to challenge these decisions, with the Illinois State Board of Elections yet to schedule a hearing for the petition.

"Illinois Group Invokes 14th Amendment in Bid to Disqualify Trump from 2024 Ballot"

An Illinois group, Free Speech for People, has filed an objection to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's 2024 presidential ballot, citing a violation of the Constitution's insurrection clause due to his actions related to the January 6th Capitol insurrection. Trump has already been removed from ballots in Colorado and Maine and has appealed those decisions to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Illinois Republican Party has stated its neutrality and criticized the move as an attempt to undermine democracy and limit voters' rights.
