Today, Lawfare is launching the Trump Disqualification Tracker—a page created by @hyeminjhan and Caleb Benjamin to track challenges in the states to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot under Sec. 3 of the 14th amendment.

You can find case info on ongoing Sec. 3 litigation efforts across the country, including in CO, where the trial to bar Trump from the 2024 pres. ballot began today. Senior Editor @rparloff is live tweeting the hearing, and you can follow along here:
The page aggregates case data about past & current Sec. 3 challenges against Trump. We note that the procedural posture and legal theories behind these challenges vary, and dismissal in any particular action does not nec. bar other challenges from being brought in the same state.
