16 other states have challenges to Trump's ballot status besides Colorado
Â
Trump's campaign said it would appeal the decision
Colorado's state supreme court said it would put it's decision on hold until Jan4
They are hoping to receive guidance from SCOTUs
It has to be resolved by Jan 5th because that is the deadline to print the ballots
If SCOTUS agrees to hear the appeal then Colorado's supreme court's hold will be temporarily lift and Trump will be eligible from the GOP primary ballot
If SCOTUS takes the case it would basically freeze the other law suits
If SCOTUS declines to hear the case then Trump would not appear on the Colorado ballot
Biden won CO by 13 pts
He doesn't need to win Colorado to win the general and he wasn't likely to win it any ways
Colorado is currently rated solid D by cook
The danger for his candidacy in the general is if other more consequential states follow suit
