Former President Donald Trump has triumphed over an attempt to remove him from Wisconsin's primary ballot.
Trump has faced a flurry of legal challenges, with numerous states aiming to remove him from the ballot on 14th Amendment grounds. One such effort in Wisconsin was unsuccessful, providing a welcomed win for the former president.

Election officials threw out the legal complaint before consideration, citing procedural problems.
“The complaint was disposed of without consideration by the Commission,” Wisconsin Election Commission spokesman Riley Vetterkind said in a statement. “It is the position of the Commission that a complaint against the Commission, against Commissioners in their official capacities, or against Commission staff, warrants an ethical recusal by the body.”

The complaint, brought forward by Wisconsin Democratic Assembly candidate Kirk Bangstad, argued that Trump's actions during and around the Jan. 6 Capitol riot represented an insurrection, making him ineligible to be president. Similar arguments were presented in Michigan, Rhode Island, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Oregon, Louisiana, and other states.
The effort to remove Trump claimed a major legal victory in Colorado, which became the first state to rule in favor of the challenge following a stayed decision from the state's Supreme Court. The matter is now expected to go before the Supreme Court of the United States.
