The judge said that Kitsap County is the wrong venue. KOMO News has a reporter in the courtroom and is working to gather more information about the judge’s decision.

The affidavit, signed by eight Kitsap County residents and registered voters, contests Trump’s eligibility for the ballot based on an interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that cites his “engagement in an insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021, and requests that Trump’s name be removed from primary and general election ballots.
