Colorado Supreme Court to hear appeal in Trump ballot case
The Colorado Supreme Court to Hear Appeals in Effort to Keep Former President Donald Trump off State Ballot
The Colorado Supreme Court is set to hear appeals in the ongoing battle to prevent former President Donald Trump from appearing on the state ballot. Last week, state Judge Sarah B. Wallace ruled that Trump had participated in the insurrection on January 6th, but allowed him to remain on the ballot due to a technicality. This decision was met with objections from both sides, with Trump disputing the insurrection claim and plaintiffs contesting his eligibility to be on the ballot. The Colorado Supreme Court will now review the appeals from both parties.

“We eagerly anticipate presenting our arguments on the crucial legal question at hand - whether a former president involved in an insurrection can and should be disqualified under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” stated Sean Grimsley, the lead attorney representing the challenging group, as reported by NBC News.
The oral arguments before the court are scheduled for December 6th.
This outcome was expected, as Attorney Andrew Lieb of Lieb at Law had predicted earlier in the day that the case would be elevated to the Colorado Supreme Court.
“There have been established findings that Trump incited an insurrection, and this matter will not simply fade away,” he emphasized.
Similar attempts to remove Trump from the ballot have been dismissed in Michigan and Minnesota.
