Fighting the Trump Ballot Ban in Court To Defend the Right To Vote for the Candidate of Your Choice
We have a brand-new case that affects everyone: The ACLJ now represents the Colorado Republican Committee as we defend the Constitution and all Americans’ sacred constitutional voting rights.
Radical Left organizations are filing lawsuits claiming the 14th Amendment bars President Trump from running for office and enables individual Secretaries of State to remove the former President from the 2024 presidential ballot. But Trump has never been formally charged or convicted of insurrection. This is blatant Deep State election interference.
Former President Donald Trump is barred from returning to the White House, say some opponents who argue his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack amounts to supporting an “insurrection” as defined by the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. . . .
Advocacy group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a lawsuit in Colorado on Sept. 6 seeking to bar the state’s top election official from placing Trump on the ballot in the November 2024 election, citing Section 3.
More lawsuits against state election officials could follow, inviting a legal melee across all 50 states over a largely untested legal question with potentially broad implications for who is permitted to hold federal office.
A state Secretary of State’s only job is to provide the voters with the names of the people selected by the political process. In this case, the Republican Party selects its nominee to be presented to the voters. This lawsuit and a growing number of others like it would take away the Republican Party’s ability to make that selection, and worse, it would take away the constitutional right to vote for the candidate of your choosing.
Washington elites don’t have the right to remove your right to vote for the presidential candidate of your choice, so we just filed to intervene in the case on behalf of the Colorado Republican Committee to defend the right to vote.
This case is important because it doesn’t just affect Colorado voters. If the radical Left is successful in removing President Trump from its primary electoral ballots, then you can bet other states will do the same. All that needs to happen is for a few swing states to remove President Trump from the ballot, and the election is decided.
We believe this case will eventually make its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. We are prepared to fight every step of the way. The future of our elections hinges on this vital fight.
Former Representative and Colorado State Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams joined our broadcast to discuss the radical Left’s attempt at election interference:
This is an undemocratic attempt to limit choices. This is un-American, and as a party chair, I can't allow that. We have a wonderful slate of candidates, an embarrassment of riches if you will, with respect to the Republicans who are running for the highest office in the land. And it’s my duty to make sure that they all have access and a fair shot at our voters so that they can make the case – and our voters equally have a right to listen to each of these candidates and ensure that they’re well-informed before they make that crucial vote on Super Tuesday.
Today’s Sekulow featured a full analysis of our Colorado lawsuit intervention. The Constitution, our system of democratic elections in our constitutional republic, the right of a party to designate its candidates of choice for its members – and ultimately the voters’ right to choose who they vote for, and due process, are all under assault.
Rest assured, we will not stand idly by. And neither should you. Take action with us by signing our petition to stop the Left’s “disqualification” plot. We want to get 100,000 signatures on the petition as we fight in court.
