Excerpt from ruling:
“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. I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection.”
Trump has been bootef from Maine’s GOP primary ballot in a scathing 34-page ruling from SoS Shenna Bellows.
Bellows wrote that the 1/6 insurrection “occurred at the behest of, and with the knowledge and support of the outgoing President."
