In a stunning and unprecedented decision, the Colorado Supreme Court removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot, ruling that he isn’t an eligible presidential candidate because of the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban.”

    Poll taxes were a scheme democrats uses to stop POCs from voting. They were abolished with the 24th. Amendment. Literacy tests were another way racists democrats suppressed voting that was stopped with the voting rights act of 1965.
