President Trump on Tuesday went to court in Maine to challenge a decision by a partisan activist in the state’s government to remove him from the 2024 presidential ballot.
That decision was announced just days ago by Shenna Bellows, the state’s secretary of state.
But according to Trump’s brand new filing, Bellows is « a biased decision maker who should have recused herself and otherwise failed to provide lawful due process, » she lacked the legal authority to « consider the federal constitutional issues » at hand, she made many legal errors and handed out her result in « an arbitrary and capricious manner. »
The dispute in Maine is the same as the one in Colorado, where four Democrat activists on the state Supreme Court ordered Trump’s name off the 2024 ballot. They claim, without evidence or a conviction, that he was an « insurrectionist » and under the Constitution is ineligible to be president.
Multiple other states and other judges have reached the exact opposite conclusion.
Just the News explained Trump asked a Maine court to overturn Bellows’ decision, which essentially was the same as Colorado’s.
