Bellows concluded last month that Trump didn`t meet ballot qualifications under the insurrection clause in the U.S. Constitution, citing his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. She became the first election official to ban Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment

A Maine judge on Wednesday paused an election official`s decision on former President Donald Trump`s ballot status to allow time for the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on a similar case in Colorado.
Trump`s lawyers appealed in state court when Secretary of State Shenna Bellows removed the Republican front-runner from the presidential primary ballot but then asked the judge to pause proceedings to allow the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on the Colorado case, which could render the lawsuit moot.
