A retired Republican judge in Illinois, Clark Erickson, has argued that Donald Trump should be removed from the state's primary ballot due to his alleged role in the January 6th insurrection at the US Capitol. Erickson issued a 21-page recommendation to the Illinois State Officers Electoral Board, which will consider the matter on Tuesday, after hearing arguments from Trump's lawyers and citizens seeking to remove him. The recommendation concluded there is a "preponderance of evidence" that Trump engaged in insurrection based on the materials presented.
