Judge Declines Case to Remove Trump from Washington State Primary Ballot, Citing Wrong Venue in Kitsap County

by

KITSAP COUNTY, Wash. — A Kitsap County judge has declined to hear a case Tuesday to remove former President Donald Trump from Washington state’s presidential primary ballot in March.

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.
