TL;DR Summary

Attorneys representing a group of voters argued in a Colorado hearing that former President Donald Trump should be removed from the state's ballots for the 2022 election, citing his alleged role in inciting the January 6 insurrection. Trump's attorneys countered that voters should decide his eligibility, not judges. The hearing featured testimonies from a Democratic lawmaker who had to evacuate during the riot and two police officers who tried to stop the attackers. Legal challenges seeking to remove Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment are being pursued across the country, but experts believe they are unlikely to succeed.
