TL;DR Summary

A Colorado judge has allowed former President Donald Trump to remain on the state's election ballot next year, despite finding that he "engaged in insurrection" by inciting the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. The judge's ruling rejects a bid by a group of Colorado voters to disqualify Trump under a rarely used constitutional amendment. While the decision is a victory for Trump, who is facing similar challenges to his candidacy, the judge concluded that his conduct and words were a substantial contributing factor to the attack. The ruling can be appealed to the state's supreme court and potentially the U.S. Supreme Court.
