Louisiana has joined a lengthy list of states where voters are seeking to disqualify Donald Trump from primary ballots after a woman filed a lawsuit claiming he was ineligible from office for inciting the January 6 riots.
Ms Reeb filed the suit against Louisiana secretary of state Kyle Ardoin.
Louisiana has become the latest state where attempts are being made to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot (AP).
In Colorado, the state’s highest court ruled this month that the former president should be disqualified from the presidency in a 4-3 vote.
On Wednesday, the Michigan Supreme Court rejected an attempt to remove Mr Trump under the same statute.
Legal experts in Louisiana say the latest case faces an uphill battle to remove Mr Trump under the 14th Amendment, which bars anyone who has sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution and “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding public office.
The Independent has contacted the Trump campaign for comment. »
