JUST IN: Legal Challenge Seeking to Bar Trump From Illinois Ballot Fails
The legal challenge seeking to bar Trump from the 2024 primary ballot in Illinois failed.
This comes one day after the Massachusetts Supreme Court denied a petition to bar Trump from the 2024 ballot.
In a unanimous vote, the State Board of Elections said they lacked the authority to bar Trump from the ballot.
The legal challenge, brought by a group of Illinois voters, cited the 14th Amendment in their lawsuit seeking to bar Trump from the ballot.
The legal theories are based on 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.
