Trump Appeals Colorado Ballot Ban To Supreme Court

The Washington Post reports:

Donald Trump asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to ensure he can appear on primary ballots across the country this spring by invalidating a ruling from Colorado’s top court that said Trump is ineligible to serve as president again.

Under the Colorado decision, which is also the focus of a separate appeal filed by the Colorado Republican Party, the former president’s name will remain on the primary ballot until the U.S. Supreme Court takes action. In Maine, Trump’s name will stay on the primary ballot until a state judge reviews the issue.

Both states hold their primaries on Super Tuesday, March 5, but ballots must be printed well before then. Under federal law, ballots for overseas voters must be mailed by Jan. 20, and ballots for other voters must be available a few weeks later.
