Colorado To Include Trump On Primary Ballot — For Now | Eastern NC Now

    Former President Donald Trump will be allowed on Colorado's 2024 primary ballot - at least for the time being - after the state's Republican Party asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a ruling that disqualified him.

    "With the appeal filed, Donald Trump will be included as a candidate on Colorado's 2024 Presidential Primary Ballot when certification occurs on January 5, 2024, unless the U.S. Supreme Court declines to take the case or otherwise affirms the Colorado Supreme Court ruling," said a release from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold's office on Thursday obtained by The Daily Wire.

    In a 4-3 decision last week, the Colorado Supreme Court found Trump ineligible to appear on the primary ballot due to his efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election leading up to the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6, 2021, but placed the ruling on hold until January 4, pending an expected appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Lawyers for the Colorado Republican Party announced they had filed a petition on Wednesday.

    "The state has interfered in the primary election by unreasonably restricting the Party's ability to select its candidates," the Colorado GOP's filing said. "As a natural and inevitable result, the state has interfered with the Party's ability to place on the general election ballot the candidate of its choice. And it has done so based on a subjective claim of insurrection the state lacks any constitutional authority to make."

    The case hinges on the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause, which is widely viewed as being designed to block former officials from returning to public office after the Civil War if they joined the Confederacy. Similar cases in other states, including Michigan, have been dismissed or remain active.


    Griswold, a Democrat, said in a statement, "Donald Trump engaged in insurrection and was disqualified under the Constitution from the Colorado Ballot. The Colorado Supreme Court got it right. This decision is now being appealed. I urge the U.S. Supreme Court to act quickly given the upcoming presidential primary election."

    A number of "key dates" are coming up in the weeks ahead, according to Griswold's office, including the January 5 deadline to "certify the names and party affiliations of candidates on the 2024 Presidential Primary Ballot" and a U.S. Supreme Court conference day on the same date. In the weeks that follow, officials will start to send mail-in ballots out to voters. In-person voting for the primary begins on February 26 and primary day is set for March 5.

Do you consider Election Integrity an issue of some real importance, or just another conspiracy theory interfering with Democratic Socialist political hegemony?

  No, complete access to everyone voting, even in a willy nilly manner, is more important than getting it right by limiting access to those that would commit Voter Fraud.

  Yes, the most inalienable right of real citizens of this Democratic Republic is the Right to Vote, and that right shall remain sacrosanct for perpetuity.

  Again, I don't vote and I don't care.

  A good man, wise and kind

  The Socialist President

  A president in praise of his son

  The Non Patriot President

  A successful president

  The Idiot President

  A knowledgeable president

  A corrupt president

  A perfect leader of the Democratic Socialist party

  The man is married to a "Doctor"

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?

  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.

  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."

  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.
