DENVER – Former President Donald Trump has requested that a lawsuit brought forth by a group of mostly Republican voters in Colorado to bar him from appearing in the 2024 presidential primary ballot be moved from state to federal court.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Denver a day prior, petitions that Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold bar Trump from appearing in the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The group of petitioners, represented by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics – a Washington-based watchdog group – claim Trump “violated that oath by recruiting, inciting and encouraging a violent mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021 in a futile attempt to remain in office.”
Group sues to disqualify former President Trump from Colorado’s 2024 ballot "I would say not only is Colorado law unclear, the U.S. Constitution is also unclear," Griswold told Denver7 Wednesday."What's unclear about Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is that it doesn't say whether someone who would be disqualified can run for office, or whether they are just not seated after they win office.
