On Wednesday, Gov. Janet Mills’ (D-Maine) spokesman Ben Goodman announced Gov. Mills’ opinion on the removal of former President Donald Trump from Maine’s ballot by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows.

“The governor believes that the question of whether former President Trump violated the 14th Amendment is a question that must be answered by the courts, and she believes it should be done so nationally rather than in a piece-meal fashion state by state,” said Goodman.
Mills’ criticized the efforts of Republicans to impeach Secretary Bellows for bias in her decision, claiming that the accusations were unjustified, and arguing that Bellows was required by law to decide on the issue.
Republicans have accused Bellows of violating a Maine law against bias by failing to disclose that she had served as an elector for President Joe Biden and did not recuse herself from the hearing.
Mills believes that, although Bellows was performing her duty, the question of Trump’s eligibility ought to be decided by the Supreme Court, rather than in various small decisions across different states.
However, Mills also stated that if the judicial system does not decide the issue, it should be left to the people.

Well very surprised Ms Mills,thank you! We the people should be able to vote for who ever we want ! And I believe MsBellows overstepped ,and should be immediately fired !
Even Janet knows that the Supreme Court is going to rule that you can’t remove Trump from the Maine ballot. This Bellows blow hard should resign.
Well said Mary🇺🇸
Bellows is the next governor, we all know that since we are living in a soviet socialist state. The bureaucratic dictatorship rolls on from Bismarck’s kindergarten to Mao’s “universities” to Gramsci ‘s nstitutions. Mills is a velvet shoehorn to make the remaining mainers docile in preparation for whats next from these goons.
That’s it play it safe Mills — straight down the middle like a true leader.
Now do the right thing and flush Bellows
Pretty thin gruel. I emailed Mills hours after Bellows made the news and other than an auto response there’s been no response. I suspect she heard a lot of complaints – even though the BDN comments are overwhelmingly supportive.
Bellows can’t see her own blindness. She doesn’t think she’s trying to disenfranchise a huge portion of the voters. Her arrogance is amazing. Her justification is that she’s “protecting democracy”. God!!! She’s so blind! She doesn’t see what she herself is doing to damage democracy. I’m frustrated and angry at lefties. They just use the levers of power to force people to go their way. Next they’ll be corralling everyone who disagrees with them into “re-education camps…or worse.
Upon reflection I do believe that we already have those “re-education camps”. They are the public schools…Get ’em while they’re young…
Yep, Nancy, Joe (commenter) 100% agree
@Nancy, why wouldn’t we get them young? There is a reason most of the youth are now supporting Socialism/Marxism & against Israel. Maine DSA and other groups have seized most institutional power. Defeating Maine Republicans was easier than taking candy from a baby. Your leadership is weak, cowardly, and like you just complain online all day while we continuously take power. Mark my words. Within a decade most of you will be begging us for mercy.
Nope, she’s a politician, following the lead of her leader, Obama. Once he came out with his decision, they all (democrats) followed. Done with all the hypocrisy.
TRUMP 2024 ❤️🤍💙
