In their filing Wednesday, the party asked the US Supreme Court to take up the case and restore Trump’s name on the Colorado primary ballot. The Colorado Supreme Court previously rejected all of these arguments. The trial judge agreed with the Colorado GOP’s claim that the ban doesn’t apply to presidents, but the Colorado Supreme Court disagreed and overturned that portion of her ruling – blocking Trump from the ballot.
