The Colorado Supreme Court is set to issue a ruling on Monday regarding whether votes for former President Donald Trump will count in the upcoming election. The case, which revolves around Section 3 of the 14th amendment, has been closely watched by both sides as it could have far-reaching implications.
Both sides had requested expedited work by the court, which heard arguments less than a month ago on February 8. This Monday’s ruling would finally bring an end to the uncertainty surrounding Trump’s candidacy in Colorado.
The Supreme Court’s decision to intervene in this case is significant, as it marks the first time the court has ruled on this particular provision. The court’s next scheduled day isn’t until March 15, but it is expected that a ruling will be issued on Monday.
In addition to this case, the justices have also agreed to hear arguments in late April on whether Trump can be criminally prosecuted for election interference, including his role in the attack on the Capitol. This further complicates the former president’s legal battles and raises questions about his potential candidacy in the November elections.
Any opinions on the Colorado case will be posted on the court’s website at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday, providing clarity on the path forward for Trump in the state. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
