On Friday, a liberal group sued to prevent Trump from appearing on the state's ballot, claiming the former president violated the .

The lawsuit marks the third such attempt to keep Trump off the ballot after similar actions were filed in and Minnesota. It was filed by Free Speech for People, the same group behind the Minnesota lawsuit.

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which is cited in the lawsuit, states that no person shall hold elected office who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

“The insurrection defeated the forces of civilian ; forced the United States to go into recess… occupied the United States Capitol, a feat never achieved by the Confederate rebellion… and blocked the peaceful transition of power in the United States of America, another feat never achieved by the Confederate rebellion,” the suit reads.

“Donald J.

A group of New Hampshire lawmakers urged their state's election chief to prevent similar 14th Amendment arguments for their ballot, calling the attempts an “absurd .”

  1. I’ve got my first check for a total of thirteen thousand US dollars. I am so energized, this is whenever I first really acquired something.

I highly recommend everyone to apply.. w­w­w.P­a­y­a­t­h­o­m­e­7.c­o­m

    • Remember Mark: The Left won’t stop until they win, no matter the cost!

      Who said: ”goodness is lax, badness is ferocious”?

      Doesn’t it apply to the left?

    • You nailed it! I’ve been saying for a long time that since Trump has not had his day in court yet, nor been convicted for any such crimes listed in the 14th, those lawsuits should be dismissed before they cost the taxpayers money, and any costs for these frivolous lawsuits be paid by those that filed the lawsuits.

  2. If they keep Trump off ballot please vote for him by write-in. It would make history if he won by write-0in votes and it would be so good for our country to have Trump back.
