Former president and frontrunner for Republican 2024 presidential nomination also expected to file own appeal

The Colorado Republican Party has asked the US supreme court to intervene after Colorado’s top court disqualified former president Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s Republican primary ballot, an attorney for the Republican group said.

The appeal comes after the Colorado supreme court last week disqualified Trump because of his role in the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol by his supporters. The court barred Trump under a US constitutional provision prohibiting anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding public office.

    For real. Voting is controlled by the state (apart from discrimination like poll taxes) so why do these traitor sympathizers want the federal government to override the wishes of their state?
