Michigan High Court Keeps Trump On 2024 Ballot, REJECTS 'Insurrectionist Ban' | Roland Martin

The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump will remain on the 2024 ballot.

The state justices rejected the cause for Trump's removal based on the U.S. Constitution's "insurrectionist ban."

Unlike in Colorado, the Michigan courts rejected the case wholly on procedural grounds. They never reached the questions of whether January 6 was an insurrection and whether Trump engaged in it.

The Michigan lawsuit was filed in September by an advocacy organization, Free Speech For People, on behalf of a group of voters. It also pursued an unsuccessful 14th Amendment challenge against Trump in Minnesota and recently filed a new case in Oregon. A separate liberal-leaning group initiated the Colorado lawsuit.

These dueling outcomes could set the stage for the U.S. Supreme Court involvement.
