An Illinois judge announced late Wednesday that he would remove former President Trump from the state’s 2024 Republican presidential primary ballot due to his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.
Cook County Circuit Court Judge Tracy Porter barred Trump from Illinois’ ballots a month after an anti-Trump challenge was rejected by the Illinois State Board of Elections. Illinois goes to the polls on March 19th.

Illinois is the third state to exclude Trump from voting, after Colorado and Maine.
However, those decisions were put on hold until the Colorado case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
