Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has appealed a state court ruling that would delay a decision on disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the state’s primary ballot until the U.S. Supreme Court weighs in.
Bellows is asking Maine’s Supreme Judicial Court to decide whether Trump can be on the ballot, despite the case pending at the nation’s highest court.
The Supreme Court’s eventual decision on the Colorado matter will have cascading effects on challenges to Trump’s ballot eligibility in other states.
Bellows cited the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as a reason for her decision, while Trump has submitted briefs to the Supreme Court arguing why he should remain on state primary and general election ballots.
