As the primaries draw nearer and nearer, Colorado may remove Trump from the ballot entirely over “insurrection” concerns.
From The Christian Post. A trial has begun that could result in former President Donald Trump getting kicked off the presidential ballot in Colorado as opponents of the former president work to expand the effort to other states.

On Monday, the District Court for the city and County of Denver, Colorado, began hearing arguments in a case asking whether the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents Trump, the current frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, from appearing on the presidential ballot in the state.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment states: “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
A lawsuit filed last month by the watchdog group Citizens for Responsible Ethics in Washington on behalf of six Colorado voters contends that Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021, where a mob stormed the Capitol to protest the certification of the 2020 presidential election shortly after the then-president held a rally on the National Mall raising concerns about voter fraud in the election, amounted to an “insurrection.”
A document released by Judge Sarah Wallace, who will preside over the trial, outlined some of the questions that she would like both sides to consider.
Specifically, Wallace asked the parties to address “how often and on what basis does the Secretary of State exclude candidates based on constitutional deficiencies,” “the process for drafting and approving the Major Party Candidate and Statement of Intent and who can revise or edit it,” whether or not Section 3 of the 14th Amendment applies to presidents, the meaning of the terms “engaged” and “insurrection” in the 14th Amendment and whether or not Trump’s actions arose to that level.
Wallace signaled her plans to continue the trial through the rest of the week. The lawsuit asks the court to issue an order “declaring that Trump is disqualified under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and is therefore constitutionally ineligible to appear on any Colorado ballot as a candidate for federal or state office.”
Additionally, the complaint asked the court to declare that any action by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold “allowing Trump to access the 2024 Republican presidential primary election ballot or any future primary or general election ballot in Colorado will be ‘improp[er],’ C.R.S. § 1-4-1204(4), and ‘a breach or neglect of duty or other wrongful act.’”
The plaintiffs seek an “expedited hearing” to ensure that Trump is not placed on the forthcoming Republican presidential primary ballot in the state as well as November’s general election ballot.
According to The Green Papers, which keeps track of information about primary elections in the U.S., Colorado’s presidential primary will likely take place on March 5.
The Green Papers also cited a statement from Colorado Republican Party Chair Dave Williams, who vowed to “have a back up process to ensure all Republican presidential candidates, including President Trump, [will] have a fair chance to compete for our allotment of national delegates.”
Williams asserted that if the “lawsuit is successful, then we will push to have all of our national delegates selected through our caucus and assembly process and bypass any rigged presidential primary election entirely.” As Williams’ comment suggests, a traditional primary where voters show up to vote for their preferred candidate is only one possible way for a state to award delegates to presidential primary candidates.
Currently, Colorado will award all 37 of its delegates to a candidate in the Republican presidential primary if he or she wins more than 50% of the vote. If no candidate receives a majority, all candidates receiving at least 20% of the vote will receive delegates based on their share of the vote in the primary. In order to secure the Republican nomination, a candidate must receive at least 1,236 delegates.
In the general election, Colorado has 10 votes in the electoral college. While President Joe Biden won the state by double digits in the 2020 presidential election, some polls point to a closer race in 2024. An October poll of 477 Colorado registered voters conducted by Emerson College found that 42% planned to support Biden in a hypothetical matchup with Trump, while 38% would vote for Trump.
Trump’s absence from the ballot in Colorado alone, if the lawsuit is successful, will likely not have an impact on the primary or general election results. However, if similar lawsuits spread to other states and have an equal level of success, the efforts to keep the former president off the ballot could hinder his ability to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold required to win the presidency and the 1,236 delegates required to win the primary.
The liberal group Free Speech for People has already filed a similar lawsuit on behalf of Minnesota voters seeking to keep Trump off the ballot in their state. Like Colorado, Minnesota has 10 electoral college votes. The state has 39 delegates in the Republican presidential primary. The Minnesota Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments on the lawsuit Thursday.
In a court filing, attorneys for Trump denounced the effort to keep Trump off the ballot in Colorado as “a political lawsuit meant to prevent President Trump from standing for election and to block Colorado voters from having the opportunity to vote for him.” In addition to insisting that “Colorado statute provides no basis for barring a presidential candidate under the Fourteenth Amendment,” Trump’s attorneys maintained that “President Trump never advocated for or incited violence on January 6, 2021.”

Father, in the name of Jesus, i believe they are stretching the term “insurrection” to describe what was in actuality, intended to be an expression of freedom of speech and a lawfully organized protest, which was infiltrated by enemies posing as Trump Supporters, who turned it into a lawless invasion of the white house. Father let your will be done on earth with Donald Trump as it is in heaven. If you have raised him up for such a time as this let no man or devil oppose him, in Jesus name, we thank you for promising to hear and answer our prayers.
Lord , I pray for President Trump’s victory on 2024 election. It is very important for our country to maintain our Christian faith. Because of Your Great Name sake, please help us. I cancel all the plans of the devil against it in Jesus’name, Amen 🙏
I pray Father God, ruler over infinity and all, breaks the walls of spiritual depression and grants people of honor to stand up in boldness for their faith in efforts to fight the enemy! Grant Mr. Trump presidency to help us fight the evil in our land. Father, God most high, please strengthen your people and give light unto the darkness. Reveal all evil tendencies. Extinguish on the Colorado State efforts to band our President Trump! The only president who has stood up for YOUR TRUTH! Help us fight spiritual warfare, in Jesus Christ’s mighty powerful everlasting name, Amen!
We are fighting Spiritual warfare. I pray Mr. Trump wins presidency 2024. I pray people open their eyes to chemtrails pollutants being sprayed in our atmosphere and take notice of the shifts for our focus from that to transvestism. Wake up USA! Save our borders, and save our children from slavery!
Lord God, I pray for a fair election 🙏. We know the Democrats have been doing anything and everything to get rid of President Trump. Our government has been in turmoil since Biden got in, and obviously doing a HORRIBLE job! When Trump gets back in, he will take care of business and the Democrats know it. Read the book of Revelation. It’s a blueprint of what’s happening NOW, because we are living what the Bible says and what to expect! Jesus Christ is the only answer!!
Dear Lord I pray also for Donald Trump who is going through enormous unnecessary terribleness because of all the hate for that man. That man who gave our country a chance to turn around , who did such good things
And he is not even a politician, which is to his advantage, but the enemy is so jealous of him and what he tried to do for us, because they have succumbed to greed and power and globalism. Please rescue Donald Trump and his family. Give him mercy and goodness, and bring him out of this muck and mire, as only you can do. To show the enemies of his that you appointed him to do a work that no one else had the fortitude to do.
Thank you for the good things you are doing and for answered prayer.
We need many many more righteous leaders in all of our states.💌❣️💌
Dear Lord God I pray for our elections coming up on the 7 th. I pray for righteousness to prevail in all of the individual states’ issues. I pray that every person who votes , that their vote will count, and that no interference and no fraudulent things would happen in this election. Please help and rescue our election process to be true and valid. Please provide the right people at our polling places so they can stop any wrongdoing. So we can have confidence in our election system and know that our vote counts. Please be our guide and move upon hearts to vote honestly and with integrity. And thank you for helping us indeed! You are a good God and I love you💛✝️💟
These 6 Colorado voters trying to get Trump off the ballot r taking away the voting rights of people who want to vote for President Trump. May God convict their hearts of their wrongdoings and let them know what they r doing is unfair to those who want to vote for him. May God help us.☦🇺🇸
When Donald Trump was elected, we saw prophecies that Donald Trump would be our president. The prophecy also said that Donald Trump will serve two terms. I’m believing that this is Donald Trump’s second term WIN. I pray that none of Trump’s votes are removed by man or machine. May the Lord help this nation come back to run like our founding fathers had it set up to run. May all those supporting Humas in our government be removed in this election or by force brought on by leaders and their supporters. May those that were not elected be removed from any and all power that make determinations that we the people have to live by that are known as The Swamp. May the ballots in Colorado have Donald Trump on the ballot and those that request it not have the support they need to make it come to pass. May the Lord have His way in this 2024 election. May the State of Colorado be a RED state and communism removed all its leadership.
Agreed. Wonderful prayer, Sharon. Praying in agreement, in Jesus’ Mighty Name; amen!
Why doesnt the house speaker release the jan 6th tapes before they erase them. What happened to Abbey babek? She was shot in cold blood. I thought a person is innocent until proven guilty. My President Trump have justice over every court room lie. The deep state should fear God more than his man.
I agree with the word of GOD, His word is my light and my guide. I forget the past, and I am walking onto Victory. 2CORINTHIANS – 5-6-7 ” However we possess this precious treasure (the divine light) of the Gospel in (frail), we human vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of Power may be shown to be from GOD and not from ourselves. God let this light shine out of all the darkness against the spirits of darkness. God says to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded in GODS light is peace and light. God I ask You to receive Donald Trump into favor, bring DJT into himself so he will hear Your voice as You direct him on what to say, so- You can direct the hearings and trap the enemy lawyers. GOD I know Trump is bruised and hurting but he will never give him, He wants to prove he is strong and He can do this all by himself. He is strong, he is smart, he loves America but he hates what Biden and his partners in crime have done to the American people, and this beautiful land. God I do not know all the laws or how they work with the constitution, but one thing for sure I do know and see with all of the evilness that has been proven, and with proof for the Biden, and his puppet master and others where is the action? God I pray that all of the false government ideologies that are trying to place a choke hold on DJT be bound-by the many prayers- communism, totalitarianism and Marxism will be broken in Jesus name! God I know you want him free, just like Daniel in the lions den. You sent Michael Your ANGEL TO PROTECT HIM and set him free. God I know DJT did not do what the left are accusing him of! God you did not create human beings to be bound, chained with gag orders removing his freedom and trying to keep him in constant stress, which he barely only shows. Father I also know You do not like Tyranny control from the government as Hitler performed 60 years ago. God I see, hear prayer warriors crying out stop this evilness. I asked forgiveness for our nation, especially the pastors, ministers-not all but a lot of them are not using the words 0f God, or pray for what has been happening for several years. I know I visited 5 different churches when we first moved here. We never went back to stay at any of them. I wanted a spirit filled church, not passive. I speak failure into the lives of the lawyers, judges, attempts of passing lies on documented papers, we break the power of lying, evasion, manipulation tactics of delay that would prevent the truth to come forth-
as well as the honest right rulings-that will come forth in the name of Jesus! God I know there are many judges, lawyers on DJT case have not or do not have Righteousness, there is an agenda- get Trump out of the way and then we can finish destroying the Christians/Patriots and take over America. God lead us to a position of victory, put back the honor of Gods word back in schools and gov. help people who do not believe in prophets, stir hearts from the prayers going forth, -give us a put back movement in this land. We need great Faith in getting messages into Trumps mind, heart, giving Him words that he needs to lean on our Heavenly Father for help and direction on how to serve GODS way. No better scripture passage than ‘Psalms -91 the entire chapter is how God will protect, shelter, guide us. Just lean on Him! Decree-‘ We decree through prayer to close doors on the evil forces that is controlling America- then open doors to the spirit of Light and Truth. Be blessed
Amen Sister Priscilla!!

Trump has not been convicted. Contrary to what some are saying, he did not encourage people to riot. And if it is wrong to question the outcome of elections, why did so many in the past do that, even to claim there was foul play.Father, we ask that you would intervene and bring justice to this whole Jan 6 situation.
FATHER, we plead the BLOOD of Yeshua HaMachiach over Donald John Trump. Lift him up with YOUR STRONG RIGHT ARM in this demonic activity persecuting him with lawfare. Encourage him to stay strong with make America greater

Father God, in Your Word, You tell us that the battle is the Lord’s. President Trump acknowledges you as his Savior. We humbly ask You, dear Father to fight for him. We ask that all false indictments, all false accusations and all false media narratives be silenced and desecrated by Your powerful hand.
In Jesus’ mighty Name.
“On behalf of six Colorado voters” – what a sad day in America, Lord, when six people grumbling and complaining can create such upheaval and discord… Open blinded eyes, soften their hearts and give them ears to hear, Jesus, that they may see clearly the direction their actions are trying to take this country. It is beyond certain that the elections in this state, and across this country, are fraudulent and corrupt and we need Your intervention and protection of these processes, Father, now more than ever. And You, God, You know the circumstances and truths behind January 6th, and we pray that truth will prevail.
Thank You, God, that You are Omnipotent, Omniscient God, You hear our hearts crying out for Your Justice. Thank You God that Your Word says that You are our Avenger, You are our Strong Tower and You will never leave nor forsake us. I thank You, Lord, that You hear our prayers; nevertheless, not our will be done, but Yours, in the mighty Name of the only Savior, Jesus Christ.
Trying to take Mr. Trump off the ballot!!

Holy God of justice we pray for justice to clear this injustice against America’s constitution. It states that our law system must prove a citizen guilty in order to punish. I praise your most Holy Name that you are setting our country frre from Tyranny. In Jesus’s Holy name.
Jeez, do they ever stop wasting their own time and energy on ridiculous things?
All authority is established by God!
We will not be shaken.
Like an intense chess game…Just wait watching world how our Holy, Majestic, Omnipotent God moves!
There is not one square inch of our universe that our sovereign Lord, Jesus Christ, does not cry out…”IT IS MINE!!!”
I think that is close to the original truth from Abraham Kuyper 🙂
ABA our FATHER who is in heaven HOLY be YOUR NAME: THY KINGDOM come,THY will be done on earth,as it is (written) in HEAVEN. Give us this day our daily bread (bread of life ) and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sinned against us. Lead us through the valley of temptations and have our angels covering us from the evil attacks: For YOUR is the KINGDOM,the POWER, and the GLORY, for ever. As we pray for all these leaders trying to take away the right of the people to choose who they want to represent them as the president. For they stifle the democratic voice process. Forgive them at the mercy seat, where they will be truthfully judge.
This “trial”, as all of the others, is Election Interference. Knowing that their candidate is a wreck, this is how they are trying to skirt the law. These people have always hated President Trump, because he is too strong for them. They have no control over him. Fear driven hacks are bringing bogus charges-even when the statute of limitations on any action has run out, or there is no one charging Mr. Trump, as an injured party. This is all deception.
Father, You see it all. You know and see through to the fear of Mr. Trump that our enemy foments, I speak that that fear dissipate, and simply be seen for what it is. Bring back truth and care of our own people and country to these people who will do anything to get their own way, throwing their own oaths of office to the wolves of deceit. As You are not willing that any man or woman or child should perish-please open their eyes, tear down all walls of deception, and bring them salvation- before their conscience is thoroughly seared. Jesus deserves to have them; He has already paid for them. Amen
These lawsuits to keep President Trump off the ballot have been dismissed in other states. Far-left luciferians “judge shop” in blue states such as Colorado because just one corrupt judge can set a precedent for the entire Country.
It’s common knowledge across the Country that the only “insurrection” that took place on January 6th were FBI employees, Antifa and Black Lives Matter members bussed into the Capitol to wreak havoc on President Trump supporters. We often wonder why Christians and secular moral people falsely believe far-left lies. This and other lawsuits against President Trump are illegal and baseless because they have no foundation in law. We ask Intercessors if you actually know what the 14th Amendment says and what are you doing within your own sphere of influence to push back against these evil people?
Far-left satanists can only win these types of lawsuits when good men do nothing (Bonhoffer). James 2:26 says that “faith without works is dead” so ask our Savior during your private prayer time what you can ethically, legally, morally, and peacefully do to counteract evil in your local community.
Heavenly Father,
Although our government rests upon Your Son’s shoulders, He chooses to use Your people to work out His Will. We ask that You raise up an army of Biblical lawyers and ordinary people like us to fight back against these injustices in an ethical, legal, moral, and peace manner.
In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
May I have permission to copy this prayer on my Twitter (X) feed?
First of all, there was no insurrection! 2nd, President Trump did not start it or participate in it! If we Americans allow him off the ballot in any state, we deserve to be governed by idiot democrats! Maybe it is time for an “insurrection” on our knees! FATHER GOD please bring these hamen liars to their knees and let them hang on their own gallows that they have prepared for President Trump! I bind this lying rhetoric that should have been stopped the first time the liars uttered it! FATHER GOD this is YOUR battle and we will “stand still and see the salvation” of President Trump and the Victory, “for the enemy that we see today, we will not see them again anymore forever! I decree that no weapon formed against President Trump shall prosper and every tongue that rises against him in judgement, he shall condemn in JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!
I would like to ask everyone who believes in a strong America to join me in praying for President Trump. I know he loves America…beyond any doubt. He accomplished so many good things during the 4 years he had in Office, despite the sabotage and deceitful people who were surrounding him and working against him at every turn. I believe he knows that a strong America leads to a peaceful world. That is why his enemies want to keep him out of office. Right now we are being pushed into war, and possibly even WWIII. I have read that the military is reconstituting the draft. They have not been able to meet their recruitment goals for months, if not longer. Only war-mongers want war, and Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Our Heavenly Father knows these wicked people are grasping at straws in bringing this ridiculous charge of Insurrection against a man who told an unarmed crowd, of close to a million people, to march peacefully & patriotically to the Capital to make their voices heard on Jan. 6, 2021. The law they are trying to use against him goes back to the days of the Civil War, and I don’t believe it has been used since. If he had wanted an insurrection that day, he could have incited one very easily. But he didn’t do that. In fact, he said he would authorize National Guard troops to be brought in for extra security that day because he knew, in all likelihood, the crowd was going to be very large. Although it seems odd the President did not have the power to do that on his own, the offer had to be approved by the mayor of D.C., M. Bowser, and the Speaker of the House, N. Pelosi. They both refused the offer of extra security. The Father knows it was all done as a set-up to use against him at a later time. Please pray with me that everything hidden in darkness will be brought to light, so God’s Righteous Truth will be known by everyone, and our country will start back on the road to recovery. As the prayer for today pleads, let true justice be done, and may Your Will be done here on earth as it is in Heaven. Ephesians 6 teaches us to put on the full armor of God because our battle is not with flesh & blood; but with spiritual wickedness in high places. Please talk with everyone you know about this and join me in prayer that we will have President Trump re-elected and back in the Oval Office as the result of the 2024 election.
Praying in agreement with you, Mary Jayne, in Jesus’ Precious Name! Amen!
Dear Lord- please stop these people who are trying to keep President Trump off the ballot. In Jesus Name, Amen
