In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court has ruled against Colorado’s attempt to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot. The Court stated that the responsibility for enforcing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment lies with Congress, not the states. This ruling is a significant victory for Trump and voting rights, as it prevents states from unilaterally denying citizens the right to vote for their chosen candidate. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold expressed disappointment, while Trump celebrated the decision as a “Big Win for America!” The media reacted to the rare moment of unanimity from the usually divided Court. Keith Olbermann faced backlash for calling to “dissolve” the Supreme Court in response to the ruling. This decision has far-reaching implications for the 2024 election and the power of states to restrict ballot access.
