Desperate Democrats Take Trump Off the Ballot in Maine

&NewLine;<p>Democrats are going to new extremes in desperation to stop President Trump from running in 2024&period; After failing to take Trump off the ballot in Colorado&comma; they have now attempted it in Maine&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>On Thursday &lpar;December 28&rpar;&comma; Maine’s Secretary of State &lpar;SOS&rpar; Shenna Bellows&comma; a Democrat&comma; announced that she will not allow President Trump on the ballot in her state&period; In her statement&comma; she repeated the accusation that President Trump engaged in insurrection – an unproven and discredited claim that Democrats have made the slogan of their political war on Trump&period; Bellows was cited saying&colon;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><em>&OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;I am mindful that no Secretary of State has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment&period; I am also mindful&comma; however&comma; that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection&period;”<&sol;em><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The measure of Bellows taking Trump off the ballot came on top of a big defeat for the Democrats in Colorado whose liberal State Supreme Court ruled to take Trump off the 2024 ballot earlier this month&period; But the ruling has been appealed before the Supreme Court of the United States &lpar;SCOTUS&rpar; by President Trump’s legal team and Trump was put back on the ballot until the SCOTUS rules on the case&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In Maine&comma; this move from Bellows comes as a big attack on the constitutional rights of Americans as the SOS single-handedly decided to ban Trump from running for presidency in her state without any indictment or conviction for insurrection in any court of law&period; On Friday &lpar;December 29&rpar;&comma; Jack Posobiec shared a clip from a video conference including Bellows to show that her ballot measure against Trump was not as single-handed as it may seem and is in fact part of an organized scheme of liberal groups to stop Trump from running in 2024&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<figure class&equals;"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class&equals;"wp-block-embed&lowbar;&lowbar;wrapper">&NewLine;<blockquote class&equals;"twitter-tweet" data-width&equals;"550" data-dnt&equals;"true"><p lang&equals;"en" dir&equals;"ltr">BREAKING&colon;
