At this point, democrats have become so desperate that it’s difficult not to feel second-hand embarrassment for them.
Far-left Democrat Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, has officially removed President Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.
Like Colorado, Bellows cited the 14th Amendment’s Insurrection clause as the basis for Trump’s ineligibility for the state’s primary ballot.
In her 34-page decision, she wrote that President Trump, “was aware of the likelihood for violence and at least initially supported its use given he both encouraged it with incendiary rhetoric and took no timely action to stop it.”
Continuing, she emphasized, “A brief call to obey the law does not erase conduct over the course of months, culminating in his speech on the Ellipse.”

Like Colorado, she also stayed the move pending a Supreme Court ruling.
Definitely not election interference from partisan hacks at all. pic.twitter.com/ZxxHnKsRGT
Bellow’s ruling has reportedly been suspended, pending a decision by the Supreme Court.

CNN reported:
Maine’s top election official has removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 primary ballot, in a surprising decision based on the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban.”
The decision makes Maine the second state to disqualify Trump from office, after the Colorado Supreme Court handed down its own stunning ruling that removed him from the ballot earlier this month. The development is a significant victory for Trump’s critics, who say they’re trying to enforce a constitutional provision that was designed to protect the country from anti-democratic insurrectionists.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, issued the decision Thursday after presiding over an administrative hearing earlier this month about Trump’s eligibility for office. A bipartisan group of former state lawmakers filed the challenge against Trump.
