The lieutenant governor stressed the importance \u200cof upholding the rule of law and\u200c protecting the foundations of democracy. This case is expected to be\u2064 taken to the U.S. Supreme Court, as the Colorado \u2064Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling has significant\u2064 implications\u200b for Trump&#8217;s eligibility to run for president.<\/p>\n<p>While mistakes happen, it\u200b is crucial that our elected officials are informed and accurate in their statements, especially when it pertains to matters\u2062 as significant as presidential \u2064eligibility.
