A startling development has resulted in the temporary reinstatement of former President Donald J. Trump on the Maine Republican Party’s state presidential primary ballot. This is the result of an appeal against Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows’ decision to remove him off the ballot due to purported ineligibility. Section Three of the United States Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment will determine the outcome. Keep checking back for updates on this evolving narrative.
The fate of the court struggle is still up in the air; the Kennebec Superior Court has until January 17 to rule. Trump will continue to appear on the Maine ballot until then, going against the Secretary of State’s earlier ruling.

Colorado’s petition for disqualification is taken up by the Supreme Court.
“The Secretary made multiple errors of law and acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner … and President Trump will be illegally excluded from the ballot as a result of the Secretary’s actions,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.
The Trump legal team has filed an appeal in the State of Maine Superior Court, hoping to reverse the disqualification. They are drawing attention to Judge Bellows’ ruling’s prejudice and lack of a fair procedure by challenging it on several grounds. They also contest her legal ability to handle constitutional concerns at the federal level as defined by Maine legislation.
They claimed that Trump’s removal off the ballot was illegal, citing a number of legal errors and unfair behaviors throughout her decision-making process.
“Relief is sought on the grounds that the Secretary’s Ruling was the product of a process infected by bias and pervasive lack of due process; is arbitrary, capricious, and characterized by abuse of discretion; affected by error of law; ultra vires; and unsupported by substantial evidence on the record,” the suit claimed.
“The Secretary should have recused herself due to her bias against President Trump, as demonstrated by a documented history of prior statements prejudging the issue presented.” This temporary decision will be especially important for the 2024 presidential election.

Shenna Bellows, the secretary of state of Maine, declared on December 28 that Trump was not permitted to run in the state’s Republican primary in 2024. As Bellows put it, “Mr. Trump’s primary petition is invalid…he is not qualified to hold the office of the President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
“I am mindful that no Secretary of State has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment,” Bellows declared in her decision.
“The events of January 6, 2021 were unprecedented and tragic,” Bellows continued. “They were an attack not only upon the Capitol and government officials, but also an attack on the rule of law. The evidence here demonstrates that they occurred at the behest of, and with the knowledge and support of, the outgoing President. The U.S. Constitution does not tolerate an assault on the foundations of our government.”
The decision further emphasized the power of the Secretary of State in certain situations, saying, “The States have evolved comprehensive election codes regulating the selection and qualification of candidates.” This has demonstrated the state’s power to impose constitutional requirements and its responsibility for overseeing its own elections.
Maine and Colorado have joined forces to prevent the former President from running for president in 2024.
Concerned they can’t beat Trump, just take his name off the ballots and don’t allow his supporters to write in his name. That’s how desperate the dem/marxist party has become. Pathetic and they claim to support ‘democracy’. 😵💫
