"Voters in Multiple States Push to Exclude Trump from 2024 Ballot Amid Insurrection Concerns"
A coalition of states, led by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, is challenging efforts by Colorado and other states to exclude former President Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot. The multi-state petition argues that no state has the authority to prevent Trump from being on the ballot and that such actions are politically motivated rather than based on the rule of law. The controversy centers on the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause, with opponents claiming Trump's actions surrounding the January 6 Capitol riot disqualify him from holding office. The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to review the case as the election cycle approaches.
