Former President Donald Trump should be ineligible to appear on either of Michigan’s 2024 ballots due to his involvement with the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol, according to a lawsuit filed in the Michigan Court of Claims Friday.

The suit hinges on the concept that Trump, during his 2020 re-election campaign – and afterwards, when it became apparent he lost the contest to now-President Joe Biden – engaged in insurrection and should be legally barred from holding office again under a section of the Fourteenth Amendment.

If they are they will just guarantee the Supreme Court forces them to put him back on the ballot while also galvanizing his base even further.
