"Maine's Top Election Official Seeks State Supreme Court Review of Decision to Remove Trump from 2024 Ballot"

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows is seeking the state Supreme Court's review of her decision to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot, citing concerns about the 14th Amendment and promoting trust in elections. Her appeal comes ahead of the U.S. Supreme Court's Feb. 8 arguments on a similar Colorado decision, with both rulings currently on hold. Trump has filed a brief at the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing against individual states' authority to remove him from ballots.
