    They aren’t hearing the case until 2/8 but the deadline for ballot finalization is 1/5, today.

    So, regardless of how they rule, Trump will be on the ballot for the 3/5 Republican primary.

      And if they rule against him, any votes that were cast will be ineligible and won’t be counted. The same as if I had written in someone who was born outside the US, or was under 35 years old. My write-in vote would simply be discarded, because it isn’t for a valid candidate.

      Yes. But, should they rule against trump there’s no reason that Colorado’s Secretary of State has to count any votes he gets.
