Shortly after receiving the good news that he’ll be on the Colorado primary ballot, President Donald J. Trump received bad news from the state of Maine. Their fascist Secretary of State made the decision on her own to remove Trump from the primary ballot for the state.
According to the Boston Globe:
Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally in a decision that has potential Electoral College consequences.
While Maine has just four electoral votes, it’s one of two states to split them. Trump won one of Maine’s electors in 2020, so having him off the ballot there should he emerge as the Republican general election candidate could have outsized implications in a race that is expected to be narrowly decided.
The decision by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows follows a December ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court that booted Trump from the ballot there under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Colorado is a Democratic-leaning state that is not expected to be competitive for Republicans in November.
Let’s be perfectly clear about something that corporate media keeps bringing up. They say Trump wouldn’t win in Colorado anyway. They’re saying he might get 1 electoral vote in Maine. None of that matters. This is an attack on our Constitutional Republic regardless of whether a state leans red or blue. Voters should have the final say and taking away their protected right to vote for eligible candidates is disgraceful.
Trending: Trump Is BACK on the Ballot in Colorado
Shenna Bellows is a mediocre person and a stain on our nation. Everyone in Maine, Republican or Democrat, should be appalled. The entire country should be.
That photo looks like that ‘obsessed girl friend’ appearing in memes all across the internet. Creepy.

Continuing the time-honored FR tradition of NOT reading the article first...
Resume enhancement and a chance to spend an evening with someone who doesn’t purr.

Oh my the power of a Moron
Wait a second one party can just remove another party’s candidates ,LOL
There are two different Maine’s now. The liberals that live along the coast in Portland and all the summer coastal towns.
The conservatives still live in the woods of Maine. Places where people make their living outdoors. There are fishermen along the coast but they have become the minority. These are still the salt of the earth blue collar voters. The coastal areas and the city of Portland is very liberal.
This is why Maine’s electoral votes are now split between two districts. Trump won the conservative area. Biden won the liberal area.
Is this a very stupid woman? There’s gotta be pushback when someone does something ridiculous such as this. It is not her job to decide a federal election. She can vote, but she cannot determine who we vote for.
Maine, my beloved state, has been going radical liberal lately- ring to ban guns that “fire rapidly”, ring to mandate electric vehicles and banning new sales of gas vehicles, mandating vaccines masks and compliance, ruining businesses in Maine during pandemic, and now tHis- removing Trump.
If she is not voted out by ,arge margins next election, then Maine is gone to the dogs- may she lose by epic margins!
The ho needs her commie ass fired. She driving out of her lane.
Me too fw- very sad to see how liberal it has gone so quickly. Br3aks my heart as Maine is such a beautiful coastal state, and now liberals have turned it Into a dungpile of socialism in the cities there
She’s saving ‘Our Democracy’!........................
This ho is a perfect example of why men didn’t want women voting or farting around in politics. They never should have given in.
Only if you can find a ditzy vacuous Karen with TDS on the brain to volunteer to make a complete ars and fool of herself and not even realize it.
I can’t post what I think should happen to her.
Keep in mind that Tucker now lives and does his show on X from NW Maine now. He is in a very rural area. The only large employer around there is Sunday River ski area. Which is primarily a seasonal employer. Yet, one of biggest influencers in media today broadcasts his show from a small town in Maine.
Isn't Mark Stein in Northern NH?
.......Maine makes Trump’s USSC case WRT Colorado even stronger. It demonstrates the effect
of incompetent state officials’ arbitrary rulings to keep candidates they don’t like off the ballot.........
Good point.
