Michigan lawsuit fails, Trump to appear on ballot

Ah, the "but California" cry. California citizens are still US citizens.

Federal issues affect everyone.

I'm sure they wouldn't just change their reasoning on what's fair, if and when Texas flips.

Maine election officials have now joined Colorado in booting Trump off the primary ballot pending SCOTUS decision. Hopefully we can get like half the nation on board to put more pressure on them.

I believe that decision was stayed pending SCOTUS ruling

And Maine is a little different since it wasn't a court, but a single election official who made the decision

Yeah I mentioned that. Any state currently filing a motion to remove him from the ballot will have to wait on SCOTUS to rule on the Colorado case, but it still demonstrates support for enforcing the 14th where it's clearly applicable.

A council of three election officials actually. One Democrat, one Republican, one independent.

Do you have a source on that? Perhaps the hearing was multiparty, but the sources I am reading say it was one person ultimately making the decision

"Bellows is the first election official to unilaterally make a decision on Trump's eligibility."

the only truly democratic outcome - the people should decide who they want, not the courts.

No, the courts should remind everyone that being on the ballot is a right that is NOT unconditional.
