Quick Glance: Judge Orders Trump Removed from Illinois Primary Ballot

  • Porter considered the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to remove Trump from that state's ballot and stayed the ruling until March 1.

  • The ruling came in an appeal against the Illinois State Board of Elections' rejection of efforts to disqualify Trump from the primary ballot.
