Just a few days ago, Eleni Kounalakis, the Lieutenant Governor of California, penned a communique to the California Secretary of State, Shirley Weber, urging maintenance of stringent legal barriers to keep the name of ex-President Donald Trump out of the California 2024 presidential primary ballot.

This bold move came hot on the heels of a similar development in Colorado, where the state's Supreme Court ruled out Trump's appearance on its primary ballot in the upcoming elections. Given the gravitas of this decision, Kounalakis expressed her desire that California should follow the same path.

Having analyzed the details of Anderson v. Griswold (2023 CO 63), a case which sealed Trump's fate on the Colorado ballot, Lieutenant Governor Kounalakis implored Weber to comb through every possible legal avenue to maintain equivalency between California and Colorado in this matter.

Notably, her efforts seem to be geared toward protecting the sanctity of the ballot and the republican principles that the United States was founded upon. Indeed, she pinpoints the pivotal 'rule of law' as the driving force behind her motivations.

Kounalakis stressed on the verdict declared in Colorado, referencing it as a blueprint for potential similar actions to be taken in California. She highlighted, conjecturally, that the Insurrection Clause could be brought into play – a clause declaring any insurrectionists as ineligible for presidential candidacy.
