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.

No, I am not joking.
What’s good for the goose is good for the shrieking harridan.
Hey all you slavering dipwads - swatting is attempted murder. Any of you idiots winking and nodding at this should be ashamed. This weirdo in Maine is wrong, but adopting the tactics of the far left is NOT fair play.
You are a ghoul. Swatting is attempted murder. Look at at what you have become.
“You are a ghoul. Swatting is attempted murder. Look at at what you have become.”
They started it, and I’ll CHEER when our side FIGHTS BACK.
Otherwise we just keep losing.
One thing this will show: that the “Authorities” can track down the people doing this, if they really want to.
False flag?
🤔

Agree - I have trouble believing that everyone doing Swatting has the capability to keep from getting caught...which is not easy to do.
So, let’s see what happens here...
This is a rare occurrence to have a democrat swatted. I bet the actually put some effort into finding the perp.
Yeah, but that includes Solano County.
Correct. The feds are standing around with their fingers up their asses unable to figure out who is swatting Republicans, but will magically have a perp frog walked before the day is over - unless the perp is a leftie or fed, but I repeat myself - in which case they'll just blame it on a MAGAmerican who they curiously can't ID.
“It’s designed to scare not only me but also others into silence, to send a message.”
Probably. That technique has been learned from the FBI.
