By order of the state's Supreme Court.

Not gonna lie, I never thought they'd actually do this. And I think this is really, really, really good. Even if it gets handed to SCOTUS and overturned, it establishes a precedent that Trump actually faces consequences for his treason, a precedent for states to remove him from the ballot, and just makes him look bad. Direct electoral consequences might not be so strong (CO went for Clinton in 2016 after all) but I still think this is a really good thing, if only for reestablishing a semblance of rule of law.
