"Trump Seeks Supreme Court Intervention in Ballot Access Disputes"

Former President Donald Trump has asked a Maine judge to pause proceedings on his ballot access in the state, citing the pending U.S. Supreme Court ruling on a similar case in Colorado where he was removed from the ballot over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Maine Democrat Secretary of State Shenna Bellows invoked a rarely used provision of the 14th Amendment to bar Trump from running for president, a decision currently on hold pending litigation. Trump's attorneys argue that Bellows should have recused herself, while Republicans in Maine have proposed an impeachment resolution against her, although it faces challenges due to Democratic control of the legislature.
