Michigan Supreme Court will not take up Trump’s 2024 ballot access lawsuit

LANSING, MI — The Michigan Supreme Court said it will not weigh in on whether former President Donald Trump should be denied access to the state’s ballot in 2024, writing in a opinion issued Wednesday that the bulk of justices were “not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this court.”

Plaintiffs looking to keep the former president from the ballot were hoping to appeal a lower court ruling from earlier this month, which ruled that whose who appear on a state’s primary ballot is determined by political parties and the candidates themselves.
