The Supreme Court on Monday tossed out a Colorado court ruling that barred Donald Trump from appearing on the state's Republican presidential primary ballot because of a provision in the U.S. Constitution related to people who engage in insurrection.
Let voters decide what government they want. The government you elect is the government you deserve.
The court held that Section 3 did not apply because the Presidency, which Section 3 doesn't mention by name, is not an "office ... under the United States" and the President isn't an "officer of the United States" within the meaning of that provision.

Do you honestly believe a state should to be able to control who their residents vote for in a FEDERAL election?
As I have posted before, here's a link to:
"The table below summarizes general filing procedures for a candidate seeking the nomination of his or her party in 2024. Please note that this information is not necessarily exhaustive. Specific filing requirements can vary by party and by state."
Please note that the requirements differ from state to state, some differences are extreme. They also differ by party. Even more complex. How is this so for FEDERAL Elections? Because the Constitution is explicit in giving the power to the states to set the rules and decide WHO qualifies.
What is the result? Different people running for President on each state's ballot. Here, look at a few. It won't take long to see they do not match: ballotpedia.org
