With a small window of time left open for him to appeal the decision, Donald Trump has been removed from the presidential primary ballot in Illinois after a state judge found the former president engaged in insurrection and is therefore disqualified.

“Given the conclusion by this court that Section III disqualifies Respondent-Candidate, which are supported by factual findings in the Electoral Board’s Record, this Court concludes that Respondent-Candidate falsely swore in his statement of Candidacy filed on Jan. 4, 2024, that he was ‘legally qualified’ for the office he sought,” wrote Cook County Circuit Court Judge Tracie Porter.

The decision comes at a time when the state itself is poised to open its polls in a matter of days and early voters have already begun submitting their ballots.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court is actively weighing oral arguments it heard three weeks ago when attorneys for Trump and those representing voters in Colorado went head-to-head over Section III of the Fourteenth Amendment and whether Trump could constitutionally appear on the ballot there after Colorado Judge Sarah B. Wallace found he engaged in insurrection but nonetheless left him on the primary ballot.

It triggered a tidal wave now cresting at the nation’s high court.
