Representative Thomas Massie, R-Ky., cautioned states taking measures to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot that the certifying of state electors will still be a decision of the House of Representatives.
“Maine, Colorado, and other states that might try to bureaucratically deny ballot access to any Republican nominee should remember the U.S. House of Representatives is the ultimate arbiter of whether to certify electors from those states.”
The proprietor of X, Elon Musk, responded to Massie’s remark with the word “Interesting.”
Earlier this month, the Colorado Supreme Court rendered a verdict stating that Trump, despite never being charged nor convicted, participated in a insurrection against the United States during the Capitol disturbance on January 6, 2021. As a result, the court ruled that Trump is ineligible to run for president in 2024 under the 14th Amendment.
Using the same reasoning, Democratic Secretary of State Shenna Bellows of Maine removed Trump from that state’s primary ballot on Thursday.
Trump has pledged to appeal the decisions to the U.S. Supreme Court and has denied the allegations. According to the Colorado Secretary of State, Trump will be included on the primary ballot.
Additionally, the Republican Parties of Colorado and Maine are appealing the rulings to the Supreme Court.
