BREAKING: Trump appeals Maine secretary of state’s decision to remove him from 2024 ballot

Trump filed an appeal on Tuesday with the Kennebec Maine Superior Court to overturn Secretary of State Shenna Bellows’ decision to remove the 2024 GOP frontrunner from the primary ballot in the state.

Bellows ruled on December 28 that Trump was ineligible to be on the ballot under Section Three of the 14th Amendment, alleging that he participated in insurrection on January 6, 2021.

"President Trump is aggrieved by that final order because: (1) the Secretary was a biased decisionmaker who should have recused herself and otherwise failed to provide lawful due process; (2) the Secretary had no legal authority under 21-A-MRS §§ 336 or 337or any other Maine statute to consider the federal constitutional issues presented by the Challengers; (3) the Secretary made multiple errors of law and acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner; and (4) President Trump will be illegally excluded from the ballot as a result of the Secretary's actions," the appeal states.
