Illinois voters will be able to choose former President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden in the March 19 primary, now that the Illinois State Board of Elections on Tuesday voted to reject attempts to knock each of the likely presidential nominees off the ballot.

The bipartisan board was unanimous in each of the rulings.

A group of Illinois voters said Trump should be disqualified from running for president because with his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, he violated the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause.

But the board, following a recommendation from its attorney and a hearing officer who heard arguments from both sides on Friday, voted to dismiss the objection on the basis that the board lacks jurisdiction on a constitutional question.

Trump’s candidacy in Illinois could face another challenge, as a lawsuit over the board’s decision is expected.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Feb. 8 is set to hear arguments as to whether Colorado can proceed in keeping Trump from running in its primary because the state’s high court ruled he engaged in insurrection.

Meanwhile, Illinois election officials also denied a bid to dump Biden from the Democratic primary ballot based on the contention that his petitions were inappropriately notarized, and a separate challenge in which objectors said Biden is ineligible because his immigration policy is a violation of the 14th Amendment’s prohibition against aiding a national enemy.
