Can Colorado kick Trump off the ballot? Trial starts this week. An unprecedented trial to throw a former president of the United States off the ballot for reelection is set to begin in Colorado this week based on accusations he was the mastermind of a failed insurrection of unarmed Capitol protestors including these guys. Because Trump insists the 2020 election was rigged against him, Democrats argue the 2024 election should also be rigged against him. Colorado District Judge Sarah Wallace isn’t going to wait until Trump is convicted of one of the nearly 100 counts of wrongdoing in four other courts.
