A judge in Maine has postponed a decision on whether former President Trump can be listed on the state's ballot until the Supreme Court reaches a ruling on a similar case in Colorado. The delay comes after Maine's Democratic Secretary of State, Shena Bellows, declared that Trump was disqualified under the 14th Amendment, alleging that he had incited insurrection. The Supreme Court is currently reviewing a comparable decision made by the Colorado Supreme Court on February 8th. The Secretary of State in Colorado, Jenna Griswold, has requested an expedited decision as the state's Republican primary is scheduled for March 5th.
President Trump, while on his campaign trail, has accused 'corrupt forces' of fighting against him at every turn. He claims these forces are breaking rules and disregarding norms in an attempt to prevent his victory at the ballot box. The judge's order states that Maine's Secretary of State will have 30 days following the Supreme Court's decision to either withdraw, modify, or confirm her ruling that disqualified Trump from Maine's presidential primary ballot.
