As a liberal watchdog group in Colorado begins pushing to have former President Donald Trump removed from the 2024 ballot on grounds that he supported an “insurrection,” Minnesota’s top elections official says his office doesn’t have the authority to make a decision on the issue.In recent weeks, Secretary of State Steve Simon, a Democrat, said he has received hundreds of “emails, calls and letters” about a legal argument based on a section of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution that Trump is no longer eligible to run due to his involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.Secretary of State spokesperson Cassondra Knudson said the majority of the contacts were emails asking if Trump could be removed from the ballot. However, Simon on Thursday said his office can’t determine whether it’s legal for the former president to appear on the ballot.“The Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State does not have legal authority to investigate a candidate’s eligibility for offic...

Such a shallow depth is rare for this type of accident.CPR was given and Schreck was taken to a hospital, but he died of what the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office say was a heart attack. San Diego International Airport warns travelers about upcoming I-5 closure “Even if the rescue is fast, it's going to take him two or three minutes to get to you and by that time, the victim had his regulator out of the mouth so he wasn’t breathing, obviously, and so it adds up quickly,” said Werner Krun, a dive instructor and CEO of Ocean Enterprises.
