A group of Illinois voters are suing trying to have Trump removed from the ballot

A group of Illinois voters wants former President Donald J. Trump removed from the Illinois Primary election in March.
CBS 2's Andrew Ramos reports a petition filed this week asks for a hearing with the Illinois State Board of Elections to keep the former president off the ballot on March 19.
The group – Steven Daniel Anderson, Charles J. Holley, Jack L Hickman, Ralph E Cintron, and Darryl P. Baker – says Mr. Trump is not qualified to hold office because he violated Section 3 of the Constitution's 14th amendment, known as the Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause. The five men are being represented by a voting rights organization called Free Speech for People.
quote:
The petitioners say Mr. Trump "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" for his actions during the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. "We have seen Donald Trump tweet. We have seen Donald Trump double down with pride on what happened on January 6 to the extent that the electoral board needs to evaluate," said the group's attorney, Caryn Lederer. "If you try to overthrow the government, you cannot then be part of the government. "
The petition follows legal rulings in Colorado and Maine disqualifying the former president from their primary ballots. The Trump campaign is appealing those decisions to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The SC needs to go ahead a make a ruling one way or the other and put this thing to rest.

30 years ago there was a federal voting rights commission that had to approve a limited number of mostly southern states each year when they tried to update local rules.
that needs to be brought back directed at states that attempt to limit / eliminate , candidates for political purpose.
