NOT JUST COLORADO: Here Are the 16 Other States Where President Trump’s Enemies are Trying to Kick Him Off the Ballot – Nine Active Cases Brought by Long-Shot GOP Presidential Candidate
The Gateway Pundit ^ | December 21, 2023 | Cullen Linebargar

President Trump was disqualified from the ballot in Colorado in 2024 thanks to their far-left Supreme Court. The Court dubiously cited Section 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment which states public officials who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the US may be disqualified from public office.

The state’s high court left room for an appeal. The ruling will go into effect on January 4, 2024.

But one would be mistaken to believe this is the end of Trump’s ballot challenges, and you can partially thank a “Republican” Presidential candidate for this.

According to a database maintained by Lawfare, 16 other states have pending legal challenges to the 45th President’s eligibility for office under the 14th Amendment. Like Colorado, the lawsuits fallaciously claim that Trump is barred because he engaged in an insurrection with his so-called actions during the Capitol Hill protest on Jan. 6, 2021.

Here is the full list: Alaska Arizona Maine Michigan Nevada New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon South Carolina Texas Vermont Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming The New York Times reports four of these lawsuits — in Michigan, Oregon, New Jersey, and Wisconsin — have been filed in state courts. Eleven lawsuits — in Alaska, Arizona, Nevada, New York, New Mexico, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming — have been filed in federal district courts.

The paper also notes that while a federal case in Maine fell by the wayside, it still has another challenge to Trump pending.

The Times reveals nine of the active federal cases were brought by John Anthony Castro, a long-shot Republican presidential candidate. He has filed challenges in 27 states regarding Mr. Trump’s eligibility on the ballot under the 14th Amendment over the years, including a case with the Supreme Court.

Due process is apparently an antiquated notion of a less enlightened era.

The SC could and should put a stop to this election interference today but they won’t. I have no doubt in my mind if it was anyone but Trump it would have been done the first day it was attempted.

I bet the left is funding this guy’s campaign solely to bring these cases.

So if the blue states kick Trump off the ballots and the Reds states kick the Democratic candidate, Biden or Newsom or Hillary or Michelle, off the ballots, how can a President be elected?

I might wonder what and how far will they go to keep Trump out. Why? , have they admitted why?

How far will the SC let them go.. If they side with col.. We can know our America is gone!!!

They have committed crimes, treason, jailed dissenters,.. America? Free?..
This is communism!! There is no way out of this if they takeTrump out.. Face it.. They have control now.. SC is last chance..

Do you hear me?? Christmas 2 days away.. We are down to one man. To save this nation.
There is no one else.

God chose this man... He looks at the inside man.. So I am counting on God to keep this man.. Protect the one all the rest want.....

Ask anyone who has lived it..

I saw what you did there last simmer. 8<)

(On a more serious note, the social media influencers are ALREADY using this one degenerate GROPElite as an excuse for "The Colorado CASE must be legitimate, most of the lawsuits are co-sponsored by a republican!" )
