At this point, you’ve likely seen the news….
President Trump scored a HUGE victory this morning from the U.S. Supreme Court:
9-0: Supreme Court Unanimously Sides With President Trump In Landmark Ruling
It's been called historic and landmark, a ruling that puts him BACK ON the ballot in Colorado and in all other states as well.
But people with critical thinking skills are asking a very good question: how is this going to work out logistically?
Here's the thing...Colorado votes tomorrow on "Super Tuesday" but with the Supreme Court ruling only this morning that Trump should go back on the ballot, is that enough time to pull everything together?
Here is the full list of all States voting tomorrow in Super Tuesday:
Alabama
Alaska (GOP only)
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Maine
Massachusetts
Minnesota
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Vermont

Not that I like the machines, but it would be easy if it were just a button on a machine to put President Trump back on the ballot.
But that's not the case.
Actually, Colorado is interesting in that almost all of their primary voting is by mail-in ballot:
While in-person voting is still available, most votes come by mail-in ballot.
That further complicates the issue because those ballots would have gone out to voters weeks ago!
It's a very good question about what happens next.
But I have the answer for you and it's good news!
CBS News reports that the ballots have always contained President Trump's name and pending the decision of the Courts they simply would / would not be counted based on that outcome:
The appeal of the landmark Colorado Supreme Court decision regarding Donald Trump and eligibility for the state's ballot is a success, but because of the timing of the high court ruling people may be wondering if votes for the former president in the 2024 Colorado presidential primary will still count.
The U.S. Supreme Court didn't issue their ruling stating that Trump is allowed on the ballot until Monday -- the day before the state's primary -- and many Republican voters have already cast their votes (because Colorado is a mail-ballot election state). Trump's name was among the candidates on the ballot despite the uncertainty in the courts. Had the appeal been unsuccessful, votes for Trump would not have counted. But now they will.
What the Supreme Court ruled on the Colorado Trump ballot case
The justices of the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. Anderson that Donald Trump is eligible to be on the Colorado ballot. The case focused on Trump's conduct during the Jan. 6 insurrection related to the 14th Amendment. It holds a clause -- Section 3 -- which bars those who have sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution from serving in government if they took part in insurrection. The nation's high court found that states lack the power to apply Section 3 to presidential candidates.
I'm actually fairly shocked, I expected the Far-Left loonies on Colorado may have used this as an excuse to still keep Trump off the ballot due to timing and logistical concerns, but it looks like the right thing was done here.
President Trump is ON the ballot, both in terms of counting (thanks SCOTUS!) and in terms of actual printing of the mail-in ballots.
He's on it and another big win is imminent tomorrow.
Here's more from CBS News:
