Democrat Attempts to Keep Trump Off Ballot in Multiple States Failing So Far

Attempts by left-leaning groups and some Republican voters to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot in multiple states using the “insurrection” provision of the 14th Amendment continue to fail in the states where cases have been filed.

On Friday, a Colorado judge handed the former president a victory in one of the 14th Amendment cases, declaring that Trump was eligible to be on the state’s ballot, The Associated Press reported.

District Judge Sarah B. Wallace did say that the former president was guilty of engaging in an insurrection but found that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which names many positions that someone cannot attain if they are guilty of insurrection, does not specifically name the presidency.

“Part of the Court’s decision is its reluctance to embrace an interpretation that would disqualify a presidential candidate without a clear, unmistakable indication that such is the intent of Section Three,” the judge said.

“After considering the arguments on both sides, the Court is persuaded that ‘officers of the United States’ did not include the President of the United States,” she said. “It appears to the Court that for whatever reason the drafters of Section Three did not intend to include a person who had only taken the Presidential Oath.”
