NEBRASKA SECRETARY OF STATE SAYS RATIONALE IN COLORADO TO KEEP TRUMP OFF BALLOT 'NOT PERSUASIVE'

LINCOLN- On Wednesday, after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled, based on the 14th Amendment, that Donald Trump's name could not appear on the 2024 primary ballot, Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen said the rationale utilized in forming that decision was "not persuasive."

"In accordance with the usual practice of this office," said Evnen, "the decision of whose names will appear on the Nebraska presidential primary ballot will be made and announced in the latter half of February 2024." Just a day prior, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled 4-3 to remove Trump's name from the ballot, citing the Civil War-era clause of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies those who "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against the United States.

U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer called the ruling "deeply un-American," while Jane Kleeb, chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party, said there was "no doubt" Trump incited the January 6th Insurrection. However, Kleeb said that the Nebraska Democrats will leave it up to the Supreme Court to decide Trump's fate, adding that her party's strategy "remains laser-focused on registering more voters" and securing an Omaha-area electoral vote for Pres. Joe Biden.
