SALEM, OR -- The State Supreme Court has declined to hear a case brought by a group of voters trying to keep former President Trump off the May ballot. Secretary of State Lavonne Griffin-Valade has said she does not have the authority to disqualify a candidate from the primary. Five Oregonians are suing, claiming Trump violated the 14th Amendment.  

Oregon’s High Court won't hear the case, because the U.S. Supreme Court is considering a similar case out of Colorado and it would resolve the same issues. Oral arguments in the federal case are scheduled for February eighth. The group can refile their case if issues remain after that decision.
