Trump asks the US Supreme Court to keep his name on Colorado ballot

Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to overturn the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court to ban him from participating in the state's primaries in the 2024 elections.

The Washington Post reports.

Trump's lawyers urged the judges to quickly overturn the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court and "return the right to vote for their candidate of choice to the voters".

According to them, judges should not be allowed to prevent voters "from casting ballots for the leading Republican presidential candidate".

Donald Trump also appealed the decision of the Maine Secretary of State, who banned him from participating in the primary elections due to his role in the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Both states hold their primaries on Super Tuesday, March 5, but ballots must be printed well before then.

Svidomi has already explained how the state-level ban is affecting the electoral process. At the same time, the Michigan Supreme Court has allowed Trump to run for president of the United States.
