Cook County judge calls for Trump to be removed from Illinois primary ballot
Fox32 Chicago ^ | 2/28/24 | staff

CHICAGO - A Cook County judge is ordering the Illinois State Board of Elections to remove President Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot.

Judge Tracie Porter gave the order Wednesday, urging the board to remove Trump or "cause any votes cast for him to be suppressed," for violating section three of the 14th Amendment, according to court documents.

The order, however, is put on hold until Friday, March 1, in case of an appeal from Trump's attorneys to the Illinois Appellate Court, First District or the Illinois Supreme Court.

Judge Porter's ruling reverses last month's decision by the Illinois Board of Elections to keep Trump's name on the primary ballot after a group of Illinois voters accused the former president of engaging in insurrection.

For sure! Crook County got Kennedy elected vs. Nixon. Traditionally the most crooked county in the country though I think it's getting some real competition from Maricopa County here in AZ.

Well, unless the Supreme Court’s ruling comes down in the next three weeks, it looks like Tricky Nikki will win her first primary, unless, of course she bows out after her humiliation on Super Tuesday.

Like Colorado, write-ins for Trump will not be allowed.

Doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Trump does NOT need Illinois to WIN the PRESIDENCY!

“ The left is really, really worried.”

The Left is more than just worried…Obama said it himself…transformation. The Left is destroying the American electoral system, in just the same manner as they are destroying, and have destroyed, many other American foundations, institutions and traditions. They don’t care if they are destroying it because they want it destroyed.

The only way to ever stop it is to destroy them.

Why is there not a conservative judge in some state removing Biden from the ballot for:

1. Influence peddling,

2. Money laundering,

3. Treason, for not enforcing our immigration laws?

I agree, he does not need Illinois, no question there at all.

However, I disagree in that it would make a big difference in downstream statewide ballots for other Republican candidates,

SCOTUS will rule on this ballot access crap shortly

When? They should have ruled on it with all possible speed. This ballot banning thing is extremely dangerous, not just now for Trump, but for all candidates going forward in any election.

If that’s her, she is currently rocking blonde hair. Cultural appropriation anyone?

They are so desperate. They must take him out by whatever means possible. They’ll try these things first, and when they fail, I’m afraid they will try something very permanent.

I’m a little surprised that they try these methods, because I figured that we will have a repeat of 2020. They will make sure someone other than DJT wins, no matter how long they have to drag it out, or how many recounts they do, or found ballots they have to come up with.

They WILL cheat, again, and again, and again. I’m under no illusion that we will ever have anyone but a Democrat as President again. They’ve seen to it before, and they’ll see to it again.

The ruling was put on hold which means ... Trump is still on the ballot.

No one knows for sure but a number of journalists and lawyers at the time said paraphrasing: ‘late spring.’

One more reason to riot in Chicago this summer.
