Trump's Eligibility on NH Primary Ballot Sparks Chaos and Confusion

New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan expressed concerns about potential chaos and confusion if former President Donald Trump is struck from some state ballots and not others. Opponents of Trump are considering using Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to block him from appearing on the 2024 ballot due to his alleged involvement in the insurrection. Scanlan emphasized that if a candidate properly submits their paperwork and pays the required fee, their name will appear on the ballot in New Hampshire. Lawsuits have already been filed on this issue in New Hampshire and other states, and Scanlan believes the United States Supreme Court should make a determination that applies to all states.
