Breaking down Trump ballot eligibility challenges in Maine, Colorado
Thursday, December 28, 2023 - Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows' Decision in Challenge to Trump Presidential Primary Petitions: https://www.maine.gov/sos/news/2023/BellowsDecisionChallengeTrumpPrimaryPetitionsDec2023.html
“I conclude… that the record establishes that Mr. Trump, over the course of several months and culminating on January 6, 2021, used a false narrative of election fraud to inflame his supporters and direct them to the Capitol to prevent certification of the 2020 election and the peaceful transfer of power.
I likewise conclude that Mr. Trump was aware of the likelihood for violence and at least initially supported its use given he both encouraged it with incendiary rhetoric and took no timely action to stop it. “Mr. Trump’s occasional requests that rioters be peaceful and support law enforcement do not immunize his actions.
A brief call to obey the law does not erase conduct over the course of months, culminating in his speech on the Ellipse. The weight of the evidence makes clear that Mr. Trump was aware of the tinder laid by his multi-month effort to delegitimize a democratic election, and then chose to light a match.”
Hey I just put up the same news over on that very very old SAV thread. This is GREAT.
