A federal court in Rhode Island on Monday dismissed the latest case trying to keep former President Donald Trump off the state’s 2024 presidential ballot because of the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
This is the fourth legal decision this month that has failed to keep Trump’s name off state ballots in 2024.
The Constitution’s insurrection clause has been used repeatedly and the courts are not buying that argument.
Chief Judge John J. McConnell Jr., an Obama appointee, dismissed the case in Rhode Island.
“The American people have the unassailable right to vote for the candidate of their choosing at the ballot box, something the Democrats and their allies driving these cases clearly disagree with,” said Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung. “President Trump believes the American voters, not the courts, should decide who wins next year’s elections and we urge a swift dismissal of all such remaining bogus ballot challenges.”
Liberal groups have appealed lower court rulings in Colorado and Michigan that keep Trump on their primary ballots.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has filed an appeal with the Colorado Supreme Court after the trial judge rejected their claim that Trump cannot be on the state’s primary ballot. The state’s Supreme Court is expected to hear the case on Dec. 6.
A Michigan judge ruled Michigan’s secretary of state cannot keep Trump’s name off the 2024 primary ballot.
That too has been appeal.
The Minnesota Supreme Court also dismissed a case on Nov. 8 in an order, saying it couldn’t prevent the state party from putting Trump‘s name on their ballot.
