The Colorado court ruling blocking former President Donald Trump from the ballot appears to have re-energized efforts in blue-leaning states to do the same.

The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday removed President Trump from the state’s primary ballot, saying he “engaged” in an “insurrection” under the 14th Amendment and was not eligible to be on the ballot. The decision is expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
