The US Supreme Court is to hear Donald Trump's appeal of the Colorado ballot ban. The question before the nine justices is whether Trump is ineligible to appear on the Republican presidential primary ballot in the state of Colorado because he engaged in an insurrection—the January 6, 2021, assault on the US Capitol by his supporters.

Washington, Nov 10 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera: Will Oliver) The US Supreme Court gave hints on Tuesday that it would keep at least most of the health reform of 2010, known as Obamacare, during a hearing, as the Trump administration attempted to overthrow it. FOOTAGE OF A PROTEST IN WASHINGTON.
Article II of the US Constitution specifically gives the states the right to administer their own presidential elections. Specifically, it says 'Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct' its presidential electors. President Donald Trump said Wednesday morning that 'we'll be going to the US Supreme Court,' and 'we want all voting to stop.' But according to CNN commentator Elie Honig, Trump's statements oversimplify and misconceive how elections work and how the courts function. The United States of America has 51 separate and different systems for elections: one for each of its 50 states, and one for the District of Columbia. Furthermore, the federally mandated 'safe harbor' period gives states time to complete vote-counting and certification processes. In 2020, the period goes until December 8th. Congress must accept any state results certified by that date.
