The legal concept of “standing” was recently employed by the court to decide whether a plaintiff had actually suffered injury as a result of the conduct they were contesting. The court reached the conclusion that the evidence did not prove Castro was directly competing with Trump or that he would specifically suffer if Trump was listed on the election ballot.
According to statistics from the Federal Election Commission, Castro’s campaign received a meager $678.00 in contributions between January and September of 2023. His standing claims are not supported by this small sum and his scant campaign presence in Arizona.

“The facts as they existed at the time Castro filed his verified complaint do not show that Castro is truly competing with Trump or will be injured in any concrete way by Trump’s appearance on Arizona’s Presidential Preference Election ballot,” the court document ruled.
Castro filed 27 federal lawsuits in order to challenge Trump’s ability to run for president in light of the 14th Amendment. He also openly threatened to remove Trump off the ballot in many states by publicly alerting him to potential legal repercussions.

“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
