HUGE NEWS: Trump Will REMAIN On Ballot In Colorado


Colorodo’s Secretary of State has declared Donald Trump’s name will be on Colorodo’s state ballot under one condition.

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold stated, “Trump will remain on the ballot unless the high court upholds the decision by Jan. 5,”

Previously, in a 4-3 ruling from Colorado’s Supreme Court court, Trump’s name was ordered to be removed from Colorodo’s presidential primary ballot on the grounds of the 14th Amendment.

Here’s what WTOV reported:

Donald Trump’s name will remain on the Colorado’s state ballot unless the nation’s highest court upholds the state’s previous ruling.

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold issued a statement Thursday.

Griswold stated, “Trump will remain on the ballot unless the high court upholds the decision by Jan. 5,” in a statement obtained by The Hill.

Earlier this month, in a 4-3 ruling from Colorado’s highest court, Trump’s name was ordered to be removed from the state’s presidential primary ballot citing the 14th Amendment.

Per CBS:

The Colorado Republican Party on Wednesday appealed that state’s Supreme Court decision that found former President Donald Trump is ineligible for the presidency, the potential first step to a showdown at the nation’s highest court over the meaning of a 155-year-old constitutional provision that bans from office those who “engaged in insurrection.”

The first impact of the appeal is to extend the stay of the 4-3 ruling from Colorado’s highest court, which put its decision on pause until Jan. 4, the day before the state’s primary ballots are due at the printer, or until an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court is finished. Trump himself has said he still plans to appeal the ruling to the nation’s highest court as well.

Colorado’s Secretary of State Jena Griswold said Thursday that, with the appeal filed, Trump will be included as a candidate on the state’s primary ballot unless the U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear the case or upholds the state supreme court’s ruling.

The U.S. Supreme Court has never ruled on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which was added after the Civil War to prevent former Confederates from returning to government. It says that anyone who swore an oath to “support” the constitution and then “engaged in insurrection” against it cannot hold government office.
