KITSAP COUNTY, Wash. — A Kitsap County judge will hear a challenge on Tuesday to Donald Trump’s placement on Washington state’s ballot for the March presidential primary ballot.
The challenge was filed in Kitsap County last week, contesting Trump’s eligibility for the ballot based on the insurrection clause in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That clause bans any person who has “engaged in insurrection” from holding any elected office without two-thirds approval from the U.S. House and Senate.
