Colorado’s Secretary of State, Jena Griswold, says she is disappointed with the Supreme Court’s 9-0 decision allowing former President Donald Trump to appear on the Colorado ballot in the upcoming Super Tuesday caucuses.

In a recent decision, the Supreme Court ruled President Trump couldn’t be removed from the ballot by individual states, overturning a Colorado Court’s decision that found him ineligible as a candidate and disqualified from the state ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That part of the Amendment disqualifies people from holding office, civil or military, if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion.”
