CHARLESTON — West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is co-leading an amicus brief with Indiana, asking the Michigan Court of Appeals to keep former President Donald Trump on the ballot for that state’s Presidential Primary and General Elections.
The coalition of 19 states argues the “Fourteenth Amendment entrusts Insurrection Clause questions to Congress — not state officials or state courts.”
“It’s up to the elected members of Congress to decide on matters like this, not the courts,” Attorney General Morrisey said.
“The integrity of our elections is at stake here, and lawsuits like this undermine the right of the citizens to choose who they want to represent them in every level of government and impedes a fair and free election process.”
