"Maine House Rejects GOP Impeachment Attempt Against Official Who Removed Trump from Ballot"
TL;DR
The Maine House rejected a Republican effort to impeach Secretary of State Shenna Bellows for removing Donald Trump from the state ballot due to his involvement in the Capitol attack. Bellows, the first secretary of state to invoke the insurrection clause, defended her decision, stating it was based on state law and is under appeal. Legal scholars argue that Trump's actions make him ineligible to hold office under the 14th Amendment. Maine is one of two states to split electoral votes, potentially impacting the upcoming presidential race.
