“Colorado GOP Makes Last Ditch Effort: U.S. Supreme Court Called To Keep Trump On The Ballot!

The Colorado Republican Party is making a bold move as the 2020 presidential election season continues to unfold. The party recently sent a legal request to the United States Supreme Court, requesting that President Donald Trump be allowed to remain on the state’s ballot. This is a unique move that has generated much speculation and controversy. At the heart of the issue is the state’s contentious attempt to scrub Trump’s name from the ballot, an action that would void the Republican Party’s bid to win the state’s nine electoral votes. The Colorado Democrats, led by Governor Polis, filed the petition in August to keep the president out of the running, citing the Republican Party’s previous lack of support for the president. However, the Republicans are taking the opposite approach and are now calling on the country’s highest court to keep Trump in the race. The situation further intensified when the Colorado Secretary of State, Jena Griswold, rejected the Republican Party’s request to put Trump’s name on the ballot. She explored the idea that the Republican Party may not have met the state’s qualifications to have the president listed as their candidate. In response, the Colorado Republican Party filed a legal brief citing their state “enforceable agreement” which affirms their support for Trump. This would override the state’s legal argument and potentially put Colorado back into the Republican Party’s column. Now, the ultimate decision rests with the US Supreme Court. It is not clear when the high court will make a ruling, but the state is watching anxiously as it awaits a decision. No matter how the court decides, this legal battle is a sign of continued political turmoil in Colorado. It is yet another example of the nation’s polarized political divide with both sides attempting to win over voters in this prominent battleground state.
