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. »

DeWine said his decision to veto HB68 was based more on its provisions about gender-affirming care than about its ban on transgender athletes, because the former issue affects more people. »

Authored by truthout.org

John Anthony Castro, a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, has petitioned the U.S. District Court of Alaska to declare Donald Trump ineligible to appear on the state’s election ballot.

Some politicians in Alaska have said that they are concerned about potential consequences of disqualifying Trump from the ballot.

While the Michigan Supreme Court recently ruled that Trump would be allowed on the state’s primary ballot, departing from Colorado’s holding that Trump is ineligible from holding office under the 14th amendment, Maine may become the second state to disqualify Trump from a state’s primary ballot. »
