11 Sep State election chiefs look to courts to deal with Trump ballot challenges
State election officers resist involvement in potential challenges to Trump’s 2024 eligibility. They cite role boundaries and voter choice. The 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause is the contention point. Some argue it disqualifies Trump. New Hampshire, Arizona, Michigan, Colorado secretaries face legal challenges regarding Trump’s eligibility. Most officers avoid commenting on the clause’s applicability. Georgia’s Secretary criticizes challenges as ballot box shortcuts. Some secretaries consult legal experts, believe courts will decide. Trump dismisses challenges as nonsense and election interference. Some officers cite state laws restricting disqualification power, requiring voter petitions for candidate removal. Debate on 14th Amendment seen as premature, triggers constituent inquiries.
