A Cook County judge ruled that Donald Trump is to be removed from the Illinois ballot due to his role in the Capitol attack, marking Illinois as the third state to make such a decision under the 'insurrectionist ban'. The judge's order has been put on hold, anticipating an appeal to the Illinois Appellate Court, with the stay effective until 3/1. This decision has sparked a wide range of reactions, with some critics calling it undemocratic and others supporting the move. The judge involved, Tracie Porter, is reported to have been endorsed by the Cook County Democrat party.
