Colorado Judge Allows Trump on State's 2024 Ballot Despite Insurrection Claims

A Colorado judge has dismissed a legal challenge to keep former President Donald Trump off the state's 2024 ballot, ordering the Colorado secretary of state to include Trump on the primary ballot. The lawsuit argued that Trump's actions surrounding the Capitol riot and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election violated the 14th Amendment, making him ineligible for office. The judge acknowledged that Trump engaged in an insurrection but ruled that the 14th Amendment does not apply to the presidency. The group of voters who filed the challenge plans to appeal the decision. Similar efforts to keep Trump off the ballot have been rejected in Minnesota and Michigan.
