An Illinois judge has removed former President Donald Trump from the state's ballot, citing the 14th Amendment's "insurrectionist ban," according to reports by CNN. Last month, Illinois voters joined three other states in seeking to exclude the former president from the primary ballots due to his role in the Capitol insurrection. Working with a liberal advocacy group, voters filed challenges alleging Trump's lack of remorse for the events of Jan. 6, 2021. The challenge was then dismissed by the Illinois State Board of Elections, citing jurisdictional limitations. On Wednesday, just weeks before the Illinois primary on March 19, Cook County Circuit Judge Tracie Porter stripped Trump from the ballot, but the decision is on hold, allowing Trump a brief window to appeal, according to CNN. ------------------------------------- Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/scrippsnews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@scrippsnews
