Judge Allows Trump to Remain on Colorado Ballot Despite Insurrection Allegations

A Denver District Court judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump is eligible to appear on the Colorado primary ballot, rejecting arguments that he engaged in insurrection and should be barred from holding office. Advocates have been trying to remove Trump from the ballot under Section Three of the 14th Amendment, but the judge found that the provision does not specifically refer to the presidency and that disqualifying a presidential candidate would require a clear indication of intent. The decision may be appealed, and similar lawsuits challenging Trump's eligibility have failed in Michigan and Minnesota.
