“ I’ve been asking why the state Supreme Courts, and now Secretaries of State, get involved in a party’s primary? ”

Because the state runs the primary. A primary is not required, but if that is the method the party uses, it is run by the state.

Unfortunately, Massachusetts is only 90 minutes from Kittery, York and the Berwicks, so Massholes are invading York County. Maine needs a tollgate at Kittery and charge people $150 if they are moving in and if they leave, they’ll get it back. 🤓

Attention! It is now declared by the supreme secretary of state, going forward, rules that commoners will no longer be able to vote for Trump.

It’s always about control with the Communist left.

Portland runs the show here.

High percentage of moonbat voters in the 1st congressional district.

That district screws up the statewide vote.

Every ballot-blocking attempt demonstrates the incredible FEAR that’s driving democrats to distraction.
Good fundraising for DJT, though.

Do you live in Maine?
Your Sec. of State has decided you won’t be allowed to vote for Trump.
All on her own.
Because she says so.
You’re welcome.

It’s the 1st congressional district that largely screws up the state.

Former GOP governor Paul LePage did not run a good campaign in 2022. His moving to Florida for a number of years did not help.

Plus, democrat governor had far more money in her campaign coffers, most of it from out of state.

“So what can they do about write-in?”

Most states don’t even look at write-ins; they’re just tossed aside as annoyances.

During the scamdemic, people moved here from all over the country. Lots of elbow room.

But money is the mother’s milk of politics, and the dems have more of it thanks to out of state money

“Not really up to this person to just strike Trump from Republican primary choices”.

Sure it is.

How else are we going to protect “Our Democracy” unless certain names are banned from the ballot?

She’s possibly a traitor to the constitution and should be dealt with according to law.
Arrest, prosecute, and carry out the appropriate sentence when convicted.

She doesn’t look like the type you’d think could make it through college.

Some kind of letter I saw on twitter
said that due to the compressed time
frame, the decision will be suspended
till US Supreme Court decides.

@PatriotPizzas
The Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has ALREADY suspended her cringe performative order removing Trump from the ballot.

These people are desperate losers.

It says
“Given the compressed time frame,
the novel constitutional questions
involved, the importance of this case
and impending ballot preperation
deadlines, I will suspend my decision
until the Superior Court rules on
any appeal, “ etc
Shenna Bellows Secretary of State
Dated December 28, 2023

(ok I says Superior not Supreme)

Well said. I might add, that Leftism is fueled by the human sin of envy and its root covetousness. You know, that envy that made Cain kill Able.
