"Illinois Residents and NYC Councilmembers Rally to Disqualify Trump from Ballots"

A group of Illinois voters, represented by the non-partisan organization Free Speech for People and two law firms, have filed an objection to former President Donald Trump's candidacy for the 2024 presidential election. They argue that Trump is disqualified under the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause due to his role in the January 6 Capitol riot. The Illinois State Board of Elections is uncertain of its authority to enforce this constitutional provision, and the matter may ultimately be decided in the courts. Legal challenges to Trump's eligibility based on the same grounds are ongoing in several other states.
