In her 2021 testimony to the legislature, Bellows argued that such laws are discriminatory and suppressive, particularly affecting people of color, the elderly, and other vulnerable groups. Bellows also criticized the Electoral College as a "relic of white supremacy." Her decision to disqualify Trump is based on the 14th Amendment, which bars individuals who have engaged in insurrection from holding office, a stance that has sparked controversy and legal challenges.
