Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows on Saturday said her home was the target of a swatting call and she has received threats since her ruling Thursday that Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the state’s ballot in the Republican primary in 2024.
“This behavior is unacceptable. The non-stop threatening communications the people who work for me endured all day yesterday is unacceptable,” Bellows, a Democrat, wrote on Facebook Saturday afternoon. “It’s designed to scare not only me but also others into silence, to send a message.”
The Maine Department of Public Safety issued a statement Saturday confirming the swatting call.
At approximately 8:15 p.m. Friday, first responders at Augusta Regional Communication Center received a call from an unknown man who told them he had broken into a home on Kerns Hill Road in Manchester, according to the statement.
Troopers responded to the residence and checked the outside of the home as well as conducted an interior sweep of the home at Bellows’s request, but did not find anything suspicious. Officials determined it was a swatting call.
In her post, Bellows thanked people for their concern and support.
”Thank you for the messages of love and support. I’ve been moved by every one and especially by those from friends and loved ones who disagree with my decision but have reached out to express love and respect,” she wrote.
According to the post, Bellows and her husband Brandon Baldwin were away for the holiday weekend when the call took place. She said their address was posted online.

She’s a defender of Idiotocracy! Leave her alone!
“Don’t fool yourselves ya’ll......false flag op
she’s playing the victim.”
Yep. After all the swatting against republicans or those that disagree with the government narrative, they simply had to pretend she received a swatting call in order to say “it happens to both sides”.
This is the left regarding swat calls ...

Tyrants should ALWAYS be scared. Someone will exercise their 2nd Amendment rights for the purpose of which they were intended. Not all patriots need travel to foreign lands to risk life and limb in defense of our republic.
FINALLY, some payback.
They do it......awards all around. We do it......electric chair!
That is what I thought too.
You know a d did it.
So much bad publicity from all of the Republicans and their families being swatted.
You're right, bitch. Helicopter rides over the ocean aren't the norm yet.
Very sad that MAGA types have created this practice of SWATting. Oh, wait...
She needs to cut off all electricity in Maine.

San Francisco ranks 17th in U.S. cities by population, right behind Columbus, Charlotte and Indianapolis.
The sparks are getting closer to the powder spilled on the national floor.
>> San Francisco ranks 17th in U.S. cities ...
How about this: The nine-county Bay Area holds some 7.52 million people.
Not feeling sorry for Dems being victimized like this - maybe now there will be movement to make swatting an automatic federal charge of attempted murder, with a minimum sentence of 5 years without parole if convicted.
If only there was a law preventing this prank.
“This behavior is unacceptable.”
So is taking away people’s right to vote.
