The appeal strikes at three specific issues of the Colorado Supreme Court opinion and the federal "Electors Clause."
The Colorado District Court and Colorado Supreme Court denied President Trump "due process."
Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment is not applicable to the President of the United States.
President Trump did not "engage in insurrection."
The appeal further asserts the Colorado Supreme Court violated the "Electors Clause" of the US Constitution.
This represents the second appeal filed to the US Supreme Court on the Colorado Primary Ballot issue. The other appeal was filed by the Colorado Republican Party.
In response to the Trump appeal the Colorado Secretary of State made the following statement.
"With Mr. Trump's appeal and the separate appeal filed by the Colorado Republican Party, Donald Trump will be included as a candidate on Colorado’s 2024 Presidential Primary Ballot when certification occurs on January 5, 2024, unless the U.S. Supreme Court declines to take the case or otherwise affirms the Colorado Supreme Court ruling."
