"Maine Secretary of State Faces Swatting After Trump Ballot Decision Amid National Debate"

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows was the victim of a "swatting" incident following her decision that former President Donald Trump is ineligible for the state's primary ballot due to his involvement in the January 6 Capitol attack. The swatting call, a false report intended to provoke a heavy police response, occurred after Bellows' home address was posted online. The incident is under investigation, and Bellows has called for a de-escalation of rhetoric and threats. Trump's campaign has criticized Bellows and plans to challenge the ruling, while Trump is expected to appeal a similar decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to the U.S. Supreme Court.
