A push by activists to block former President Donald Trump from being on the 2024 ballot in several states has reportedly been a bust because officials are reluctant to act without any court guidance.
"We're not the eligibility police," Michigan's Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, told Axios. "We are responsible for ensuring that basic facts are met to get someone on the ballot."
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a lawsuit in Colorado aiming to ban Trump from the state's 2024 ballot — and the group Free Speech For People has brought forth a suit in Minnesota, Axios reported. But many secretaries of state who oversee elections are reluctant to take on the politically divisive issue for fear of appearing partisan, Axios reported.
New Hampshire's Republican secretary of state, David Scanlan, noted at a news conference a decision by an elections official without a court ruling first could trigger "chaos, confusion, anger and frustration," WMUR reported.
