The Colorado secretary of state will include former President Donald Trump on the 2024 Colorado primary ballot after Republicans filed an appeal to the Supreme Court.
On Wednesday, the Colorado GOP filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court after the state Supreme Court's decision to remove Trump from the primary ballot.
Following the appeal, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that she will include Trump on the primary ballot on the Jan. 5 certification deadline, unless the U.S. Supreme Court affirms the lower court's ruling or declines to take up the case.

Blink!
Deep down, I was hoping they would follow through with this political stunt. Keeping Trump off of the Ballot, then being humiliated by the SCOTUS reminding them that they were outside of their jurisdiction, would leave the State of Colorado financially liable.
It would be Judicial malpractice, election interference, and potentially could cause the 2024 election to be ‘redone’ if Trump lost because of these shenanigans. They must have sensed the risk after getting their headlines and smear completed, and thought it best to ‘stay’.
All this by Colorado Supreme Court Justices, appointed by democrats, in a state that has more voters in some counties that eligible people. Wonder what the SCOTUS would say about that...
They knew this wouldn’t float. And if the SCOTUS doesn’t hear it I will be shocked. The Colorado court got its point across through the media that Trump was a villian in this no matter what the court actually trying the case says since they haven’t started trying it yet to stall until no sooner than election day or after. So this tactic is keep the fire burning not to cook anyone is a two sided sword as they will have to live through with this failure and you can bet Trump will remind them of it...often. Heh, heh,heh....

This is why it was important for the CO GOP to file the appeal, rather than the Trump campaign.
The Sekulow’s at the ACLJ filed a motion with the SC today also.
Yes, that’s correct. As long as President Trump appeals the decision to the Supreme Court, the appeals court stays their own ruling – essentially indefinitely. The Colorado primary ballots printed, and the primary election will be over, before the Supreme Court puts this on their docket.
I believe the Colorado Supremes stayed, pending appeal, their own decision. I can’t imagine SCOTUS is impressed with this move. Just a bunch of cowards it would appear.
It’s almost as if Trump is planning the shark jumping moves of these imbeciles.
Big of them.
This may cause the SC to say its ruling is moot. This would leave the door open for other states to continue harassing Trump.
Possibly the Roos were hoping that a GOP delay in acting would foul up the January 5th ballot printing cutoff.
It didn't work.
I think their moves are planned by Stupidity, Trump gains popularity every time they make one.
Hat tip to Colorado GOP so much for the uniparty BS propaganda.
They also enabled Caucus, which makes Colorado State Government irrelevant as far as naming Primary Ballot Candidates.
“I was hoping they would follow through with this political stunt”.
My first thought—exactly!
Ovation time and another hat tip.
Colorado's Secretary of State is giving them air cover.
CO's Secretary of State also just gave USSC a reason to not act.
Then, magically, days before the 2024 Presidential Election Legit President Trump's name will be removed from the ballot by Colorado's SoS to cause mass confusion, followed by an appeal to the USSC to finally rule.
All designed to cause confusion and prod the crazies to action.
And it'll be too late, the damage will be done AGAIN, the process IS the punishment.
Another election is going to be stolen and what'll happen? NOTHING. Dammit all to hell.
