"GOP Representatives Push for Griswold Impeachment Over Alleged Bias, Supreme Court's Handling of Trump Docket Raises Questions"

Several Republican state representatives in Colorado are calling for the impeachment of Secretary of State Jena Griswold, accusing her of using her position for partisan ideology and displaying bias against former President Donald Trump. The representatives claim that Griswold's actions threaten the freedom of speech of Coloradans, while Griswold dismisses the impeachment attempt as baseless and focuses on working for all Colorado voters. The push for impeachment comes after the Supreme Court overruled a group of voters who tried to remove Trump from Colorado's primary ballot, leading to Griswold's outspoken disappointment with the ruling.

"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.

"Colorado Secretary of State Urges Supreme Court to Disqualify Trump from Ballot"

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has urged the Supreme Court to uphold the state's ability to exclude former President Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot due to his actions leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. The case revolves around whether Trump "engaged in insurrection" under the 14th Amendment and is therefore ineligible to serve as president. Griswold's brief defends Colorado's process for determining candidate eligibility, arguing that the state should not be compelled to include a candidate found to have violated his oath to support the Constitution. The outcome of this case could have implications for other states' ballot access rules.
