Maine effort to keep Trump off ballot gains momentum

District judge rejects effort to remove Trump from West Virginia ballot.

District judge rejects attempt to remove Donald Trump from West Virginia ballot

In a recent development, a district judge in West Virginia has rejected an attempt to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's ballot. The court ruled that the plaintiff lacked standing to sue under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. This legal action is just one of several similar lawsuits across various states arguing that Trump is constitutionally ineligible to be on the ballot due to his alleged involvement in inciting the January 6th insurrection. Notably, the Colorado Supreme Court has already barred Trump from the primary ballot pending an appeal. Maine's Secretary of State is also expected to rule on a similar challenge in the near future.
