The home of Maine’s secretary of state was „swatted“ Friday, a day after she ruled that former President Trump should be disqualified from the state’s Republican presidential primary ballot.
The home of Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows was „swatted“ Friday evening, police confirmed Saturday.
Maine State Police responded after an unidentified man lied about having broken into the house.
Bellows and her family were away at the time of the hoax call.
The incident comes after Bellows disqualified former President Trump from the state’s 2024 Republican presidential primary ballot late Thursday, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which bans from office those who „engaged in insurrection“ over his alleged incitement of the Jan. 6 riot.
