At the same time the Colorado Republican Party files a petition to the United States Supreme Court to overturn a disqualification ruling issued by the Colorado Supreme Court {link}, a challenge that will result in President Trump appearing on the Colorado ballot {link}, the Democrat Maine Secretary of State has ruled by fiat that Trump should be disqualified.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows issued a public statement [SEE HERE] declaring that under her independent determination, President Trump should be disqualified.N

Ronna, are you happy with this? Most of the Republicans aren't. Maybe it's time for you to retire?

So here are the new rules of American jurisprudence, according to the Democrats. If you think someone might be guilty of a crime, go ahead and punish them. All this stuff about trials, and jury of ones peers, and having a right to a defense, that just gets in the way of what needs to be done. Right, Ms. Bellows?

This is the way
If enough Secretaries of State try to pull this stunt, it will continue until the SCOTUS rules that a NON convicted former President who has NOT been tried and convicted by a Court of Law cannot be removed from filing payers to run.
UNTIL they make a ruling to strike down this effort expect more of the same
If they allow this to stand, our Republic will be teetering on ruin

What would you expect as the Maine Secretary of State is a far leftist Democrat as illustrated by her political history?

How about some Republican state Supreme Courts or Secretaries of State do the same with Bribem? Remove him as a candidate from their state ballots? What's good for the gander is good for the goose.

The Republican party should withdraw from state-run primaries, run their own show by their own rules, and allow only registered Republicans to participate.

insurrection is a federal criminal offense and not a state issue. Nobody who has been charged for the Jan 6th mess was charged with insurrection. The Maine secretary of state does NOT get to find him guilty of anything without due process. I love it when Dems tell me democracy is at stake while taking actions that reduce citizens constitutional rights to vote for the president of their choice.

I think we may need foreign groups to monitor our elections. You know, from places like Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Russia, Cuba, and China. Where the elections are fairer than in the USA.

Back in the day, the first response to such nonsense would have been, who in the world does this fool think she is? Now that the democrat party has abandoned truth, anything goes, even this unbelievable blatant power grab.

Keep it up. Every time a blue state pulls this nonsense, it is another reason for the Supremes to take the case and restore sanity.

That qualifies as tyranny.
It doesn't even attempt to justify itself as legal.

An unjustifiable power grab. Shows the paucity of ideas opposing Trumps populist mandate, and the desperation characterizing the Liberal intellectual mandate. Utterly illiberal.

The more the dems show their true authoritarian color, the stronger Trump becomes. Let the fascist side shows continue, it is quite entertaining to see those that believe they have such power get squashed when their illegal action is reviewed by a court.

We know this will keep occurring. If it isn't lawsuits, it is going to be something else. I firmly believe this is all happening to weaken Donald Trump's resolve. Get him to quit no matter the method. . .

What gives the state appointed individual the right to disenfranchise the people who have the right to nominate and vote for the candidate of their choice? Especially, when whatever crime they supposedly committed has not been adjudicated?

This is a game. This idiot can’t possibly believe that someone can be removed from a ballot based on her personal opinion. This isn’t even a judicial opinion. It’s the work of a leftist whack job who is starved for attention.

Okay-----------time for a laugh.
I know that State Senator Susan Collins will have a lot to say about this.
She won't allow this democrat to do this without a strong objection, maybe even a letter.
That should make you laugh.

This is potentially serious, as if the US Supreme Court wimps out on this issue, in the future Democrat appointed or elected Judges and Politicians serving on courts and in State governments could continuously knock leading Republican candidates off both State and Federal ballots all over the USA by making fraudulent claims.. Republicans would never do that to Democrat candidates as the Republicans are too wimpy, and the Democrats know that.

If one looks at the Red/Blue State Maps it's clear there are about 20 Democrat run States and 30 Repub run states...If the SCOTUS does their JOB this will implode on Democrats...If not, it's time to Put Joey Briben out to pasture along with all the Cow Pies by removing him from 30 State Ballots!

This is treason. It is an assault on our democratic/republic. The perpetrators should be tried and convicted. Will they be? No. And therein lies one part of the problem. The people of this nation continue electing officials who don't represent the people, they represent their own self interests... and people keep voting for them. Why? Ungodly and immoral liberals own all three branches of the government; executive, judicial and legislative and liberal own the press, so there is no pushback against our government. Liberals own the unions and own teachers and administrators of our school systems, and control what our children are taught, corrupting their minds and lives. They own everything we see and hear. We have stolen from us, most of our rights and freedoms.
So why do these anti-values anti-freedom anti-person rights leftists keep getting elected? Because God has been systematically pushed out and removed from the United States. Without God, non-Christian conservatives and liberals, have no moral compass, because they have no source for their moral standards, other than themselves. They literally, don't know the different between right and wrong, good and evil. So there is no justice, just laws or just judgments for America. Like it or not, without God, humanity can only do what humans believe is right for them. So 330 million people are confused and divided about what is right and wrong for this nation, without ever knowing for certain. Benjamin Franklin said; "“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." John Adams said; "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. . . Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." Thomas Jefferson; "Experience hath shown, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny." There you have it. Our founders knew where we would end up, when God and virtue are replaced with secularism and worldliness.
Without God, this nation's people have placed into power, likeminded people with the same lack of values, morals and direction, so evil "leaders" has taken over and will never relinquish their positions. The U.S. will soon succumb to its unsustainable debt, spending, moral decline and godless practices. If you are not saved, you will be in for one hell of a ride... literally. If you are saved, pray that Jesus our Messiah comes quickly.

This might be a federal crime, interfering with an election, election tampering or a violation the Voting Rights act.

Since the vote has been taken away through fraud, and companies like Dominion, the Cabal (in my words, the Jihad Junta) will never have to stop this kind of tactic or relinquish power.
This has to be corrected one way or another.
