Maine's Democratic Secretary of State, Shenna Bellows, on Thursday, decided to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's presidential primary ballot, citing the Constitution's insurrection clause. In today's decision, Bellows determined that as the leading candidate for the 2024 Republican nomination, Donald Trump instigated an insurrection by propagating false allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election and subsequently encouraging his followers to march on the Capitol to obstruct the certification of the vote. The decision echoes a similar ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court, which also disqualified Trump under the 14th Amendment's Section 3. While Colorado's Democratic lean makes it less pivotal for Republican prospects, Maine's action could have more substantial consequences due to its split electoral votes and the narrow victory margins expected in the upcoming race.
