Massachusetts has joined other states in rejecting an effort to disqualify Donald Trump from being on the ballot under the 14th Amendment, with the Mass. Commission ruling in favor of Trump's eligibility. This decision contrasts with Colorado, which has supported the disqualification theory. A Massachusetts state panel's dismissal of the disqualification effort was described as siding with the Constitution by a spokesperson for Trump. Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of voters in Massachusetts has escalated the issue to the Supreme Judicial Court in an attempt to prevent Trump's name from appearing on the ballot in March. In a related development, Maine's Top Court has declined to make a ruling on Trump's ballot access, opting to wait for the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to decide on a similar case from Colorado, thus letting Trump STAY on the ballot until then.
