Tomorrow (Monday), the Supreme Court of the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 (aka #SCOTUS) will let #America 🇺🇸 know if #DonaldTrump is banned from being on the ballot in every state after inciting an insurrection or if #Trump must be listed on the ballot in every state.

👉🏾 US supreme court to issue ruling as Trump Colorado ballot case looms theguardian.com/law/2024/mar/0

This will also determine if #NikkiHaley remains in the #GOP primary as #Republicans are expected to vote for Trump in every state on Super Tuesday.

@darnell that is incorrect, though.

The question before the court is not whether Trump is banned from being on the ballot in every state, because that is not a federal question.

Every state manages its own elections. In the US elections are state processes.

@volkris Based on the responses by the Justices previously, the decision will affect whether Trump will be allowed or banned on the ballot in every state. States conduct elections, but they are still Federal elections, which even the Justices & Colorado acknowledged.

@darnell every state gets to run its own elections, so a decision to strike him from the ballot is not a decision made at the national level.

And the decision that was handed down today, while wrong, doesn't do anything to change that.
