The New York Times says that:

"At least 16 States beyond Colorado currently have open
legal challenges to the former President's eligibility for
office under the 14th Amendment but what happens next
depends on the US Supreme Court."

There's more at the following:

Dear Foxy,

It was such an egregious attempted insurrection he really should have been banned a long time ago. The wheels of justice do appear to work slowly but thankfully inevitably in the US.

May the attempts to protect their electoral systems from an attack such as this be ultimately successful.

The ruling will be appealed up to the US Supreme Court where, presumably, people who still have a vague understanding of what a democracy should look like, will set things right.

Alternatively, the Colorado Republican leadership have said they will will run a caucus rather than a primary vote, thus negating the court's ruling.

The court's ruling is just another example demonstrating the terror the left in general and the Democrats in particular have of a returning Trump presidency where all their corruption and anti-American activities will be open for investigation. Were Trump to win next November, Biden would need to spend the last two months of his presidency issuing pardons to the myriad Democrats who would lose the legal protection of his incumbency.

But Trump won't win. The entire force of the deep state, legacy media, and social media billionaires are ranged against him. As in 2020, it will matter little how many votes he gets since they'll simply create a greater number or at least count a greater number.

If any of this happened in a third world country we'd all understand that democracy in that place was a façade. Just as democracy in the US is now a sick joke.

Dear Steele,

I totally agree.

Fingers-crossed that justice will prevail in this case.

Dear Steele,

Just to clarify:

Despite 91 indictments across
4 criminal cases including some centred on his attempts to
overturn his electoral loss to Biden in 2020 Trump's
grip on his supporters shows no sign of loosening.

As far as
Biden is concerned? I find it sad for the country that what we
have - is America's best choices. That the country is down to
having to choose the lesser of two evils. I wish that there
were better options.
