Maine to Disqualify Trump from Ballot

[Turd Fergusen]

(The Hill) — Maine’s Secretary of State on Thursday said former President Trump was ineligible to be on the state’s primary ballot under the 14th Amendment, becoming the second state to do so.

Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, said she had concluded that Trump “over the course of several months and culminating on January 6, 2021, used a false narrative of election fraud to inflame his supporters and direct them to the Capitol to prevent certification of the 2020 election and the peaceful transfer of power.”

She also concluded that 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.

“Mr. Trump’s occasional requests that rioters be peaceful and support law enforcement do not immunize his actions,” she said. A brief call to obey the law does not erase conduct over the course of months, culminating in his speech on the Ellipse. The weight of the evidence makes clear that Mr. Trump was aware of the tinder laid by his multi-month effort to delegitimize a democratic election, and then chose to light a match.”

“I do not reach this conclusion lightly. Democracy is sacred… 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,” she wrote.

I wonder why they are all so scared of Trump that they are excluding him from the ballot, if they are so sure he's all they say he is, why should they worry?

Maine Dem who booted Trump from ballot met with Biden, called Electoral College ‘white supremacy’​

The Maine Democrat who moved to boot former President Donald Trump from the state’s Republican primary ballot visited the White House twice in the past year — meeting President Joe Biden during one jaunt — and reportedly once referred to the Electoral College as a “relic of white supremacy.”

Secretary of State Shenna Bellows visited the White House in March and again in June, visitor logs show.

On March 22, she attended a Women’s History Month event and took a photo with a smiling Biden, putting his left hand and on her shoulder and clutching one of her hands with his right.

She posted it on Instagram a day later, saying “Birthday jaunt to DC for a Women’s History Month event at the White House yesterday and walking around today.”

She boasted it was an “honor” meeting Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and other “female leaders” at the gathering in press release put out by her office.

Bellows also visited the White House June 6, to meet with Justin Vail, a special assistant to Biden, Fox News reported .

In June 2021, Bellows, a former state Senator in Maine, wrote an op-ed piece for the lefty platform Democracy Dockets claiming she decided to run for secretary of state because she “was truly frightened for our democracy” following the 2020 presidential election.

Democrats Disprove Claims They Will Covertly Rig Election By Rigging It In Plain Sight

AUGUSTA, ME — In a move designed to push back against criticism that they have a track record of rigging elections in secret, Democrats have now adopted a policy of rigging elections in broad daylight so everyone in the country can see it.

. . . In Plain Sight (Babylon Bee)

This power-mad cunt is simply dismissing the essence of Western Civ, which is due process. It's the difference between democracy and dictatorship. BTW, I'm no fan of Trump. That's not the point. She is assuming dictatorial power.

 

[Metalfan]

Let's see!Something good to come out of Maine.Lobster and Steven King.Wait Steven is a sniveling woke bastard,so I guess just lobster.

Maine is different:

"Maine voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote."

The Secretary of the State of Maine's complaint, as far as Maine goes, doesn't seem valid.

"Maine became the first state to use ranked-choice voting for a presidential general election, with voters able to rank their preferred candidates on the ballot."

That's odd. But efficient I guess, iffor some reason the winner is unable to carry out his or her duties? The crown is passed?

I don't pretend to understand the electoral college. Maybe that should be a New Years Resolution?

Creepy, disgusting, dishonest Shenna Bellows, complains about getting targeted, after dishonest illegal agenda driven, election interference decision

Maine secretary of state targeted with 'swatting' call after ruling Trump ineligible for ballot​

This behavior is unacceptable," she continued. "The non-stop threatening communications the people who work for me endured all day yesterday is unacceptable. It’s designed to scare not only me but also others into silence, to send a message."

a friend of mine who lives in Maine.. lol took a lil visit to Maine State House and left some pictures hanging around... He also went on Amazon and sent her a trump flag and bumper stickers (no he did not swat her- he isnt dumb or mean)

None of this says too very much that is good about the left in general in regards to critical thinking. Time and time again their brazen lies are disproven. Time and time again their hysteria is shot down with logic and yet some still buy into the bullshit being spouted. Sorry. Trump WAS NEVER peed on by Russian hookers (I mean seriously, who DOESN'T know that he's a Howie Mandel level germaphobe?). His campaign WAS spied on. Covid-19 WAS basically a flu in the end AND it came from China. The only "Russia Collusion" turned out to be between HRC and Christopher Steele, but hey, keep bringing it up and trying to make it relevant, because THAT makes you look intelligent? Robert Hunter Biden IS a drug addicted fiend that even in his own words had NOTHING to offer Burisma, but was somehow HANDSOMELY rewarded* for his lack of knowledge in all thing G&O. Or all things Ukraine. Does anyone happen to remember Hillary blaming Ukrainian "server farms" for all of the corruption in the 2016 election? How'd Ukraine suddenly become a beacon of honesty in the scant few years between late 2016 and early 2022? Anyone know? I could go on...

I'm sorry. But y'all have been intentionally deceived, for decades now by this man. I know Trump is a bombastic blowhard. I get it. I take the shit he says with a grain of salt and you should too. I've never said anything different. But my wallet was more interesting under Trump than it is under your guy. We told you guys it would be like this. We didn't lie did we?

It's like the vaccine. We kept telling you to take it slow and give it time. Now people are bitching that we didn't warn you hard enough. For over a year you called us every ugly name in the book. Said that we, our parents, our spouses and our children should die. Then you blamed us when your loved ones died, and yet, all along, WE WERE RIGHT and the vax turned out to be harmful/deadly to a lot of people. You want this country to come together again, then how about you stop being so goddamned nasty to us. It's not hard. Being ugly is a choice. And the Left continues to make that choice daily...


ETA: fixed a typo*

 

[Turd Fergusen]

I have a pocket version of the Constitution and I need to read it to be completely sure, but I believe that the insurrection clause is or would be something that would have to be proven in a court of law, not decided by a possibly biased State Court or Secretary of State. Where anyone would have the legal ability to fight and win/loose that they had done that beyond a reasonable doubt. This has not happened here AT ALL. That is my issue. This is one single person acting as the judge, jury, and executioner. If someone can just deem that a person incited an insurrection, then surly it could be deemed that the 51 "Intelligence Heads" committed election fraud by deeming the Hunter Biden laptop as "Russian interference". The rules and laws to make all this work are already here and in place and people are stomping all over them.

When are they going to finally learn that we are not a democracy, we are a republic!

This is bad. Are we to have 50 different Secretaries of State each deciding they can strike whomever they want from the ballot at their sole discretion? Each of them left to decide for themselves what constitutes "insurrection", what are its elements, what standard of proof applies, what evidence to admit, and how to weigh it? That's a perfect recipe for tit-for-tat partisan reprisals across the country. The courts must slap this down in no uncertain terms.

In a sane world, a 9-0 decision at SCOTUS would be a given, but I wouldn't be too surprised if Sotomayor and Jackson dissented.
