“Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said Tuesday that his office is figuring out how to handle potential complaints over whether former President Donald Trump should be disqualified from appearing on the 2024 ballot,” NBC News reports.
“The issue centers on the 14th Amendment, which prohibits people who have ‘engaged in insurrection or rebellion’ from holding public office. Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson raised the theory at last week’s GOP presidential debate that Trump’s conduct on Jan. 6, 2021, might disqualify him on those grounds — a theory that has gained traction among some legal scholars, though others discount the possibility.”
“Now, the people running state elections are trying to figure out what to do if people bring legal challenges against Trump.”
