Maine Superior Court Delays Trump Ballot Decision Pending Supreme Court Ruling

The Maine Superior Court has issued a stay on the state's decision to bar former President Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot, pending a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court. This comes after Trump appealed the ruling of Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, who had initially removed him from the ballot. The court has remanded the matter to the secretary for further proceedings in light of the forthcoming decision in Trump v. Anderson, and ordered her to issue a new ruling within thirty days of the Supreme Court's decision. Similar battles are ongoing in other states, where activists are seeking to remove Trump from their primary ballots under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
