Bray and Lair on WNIC.

So have you heard about this lawsuit that aims to keep Donald Trump off the presidential

ballot next year because he violated the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment?

The trial began yesterday with opening arguments and the first witnesses for the plaintiffs

against Trump, and we are very happy to have with us to talk about this now, someone

very relevant to this issue because this is, for the moment, a state case in Colorado.

We have the highest state election official there, Colorado Secretary of State, Jenna

Griswald.

She is also chair of the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State.

Secretary Griswald, thanks so much for coming on for this.

Welcome to WNIC.

Well, thanks for having me on.

I know you're on a tight schedule, and we have you for about 10 minutes, so I'm going

to jump right in and read this relevant sentence in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

So our listeners know the context.

It says no person shall be a senator or representative in Congress or a elector of President and

Vice President or hold any office, civil or military under the United States or any state

who having previously taken an oath as a member of Congress or as an officer of the United

States or as a member of any state legislator, this is a long sentence.

Or as an executive or judicial officer of any state to support the Constitution of the

United States, here we go, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same

or give an aid and comfort to the enemies thereof.
