Donald Trump, the Republican Party frontrunner for the 2024 primary election, will be on the ballot in Michigan after the State Supreme Court rejected efforts to remove him.
“Significantly, Colorado’s election laws differ from Michigan’s laws in a material way that is directly relevant to why the appellants in this case are not entitled to the relief they seek concerning the presidential primary election in Michigan,” wrote Justice Elizabeth Welch, explaining the court’s decision on Wednesday.
“The appellants have also notified this Court that on December 19, 2023, a majority of the Colorado Supreme Court held that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and that therefore, under the Colorado Election Code, it would be wrongful for the Colorado Secretary of State to list him as a candidate on the Colorado Republican presidential primary ballot in 2024,” she wrote.
“The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision was preceded by a lengthy evidentiary proceeding in a trial court that developed the factual record necessary to resolve the complicated legal questions at issue. The legal effect of the decision from Colorado has been stayed for a short period, and Trump has indicated his intent to seek leave to appeal in the United States Supreme Court,” according to the ruling.
Justice Welch added, “The appellants have identified no analogous provision in the Michigan Election Law that requires someone seeking the office of President of the United States to attest to their legal qualification to hold the office.”
This isn’t just a legal footnote; it’s a game-changer for Michigan voters. Democrats forget that when they try to take Trump off the ballot in their state, they are also telling a significant number of Trump voters that they don’t get to practice democracy by voting for who they want to represent them. This is how low the Democrats have sunk.
