Secretary of State Bellows targeted in swatting incident after ballot decision

Swatting incident at Maine Secretary of State's home sparks concern.

Maine Secretary of State Shannon Bellows recently found herself at the center of a swatting incident, following her decision to remove former President Trump from the state's 2024 primary ballot. Swatting, a disturbing and dangerous prank, involves making a false emergency call to authorities, prompting a swift and forceful response from local police and SWAT teams.

Late Friday evening, police officers in Maine responded to a swatting call at Bellows' residence. The authorities arrived at the house, only to find it empty. Conducting a thorough search of the property, police found no signs of any suspicious activity or individuals.
