Secretaria de Estado de Maine retira a Trump de la boleta para la primaria estatal

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:35:53 GMT

La secretaria de Estado demócrata de Maine eliminó el jueves al expresidente Donald Trump de la boleta primaria presidencial del estado bajo la cláusula de insurrección de la Constitución.De esa forma, se convirtió en la primera funcionaria electoral en tomar medidas unilaterales en un tema que tiene posibles consecuencias en el Colegio Electoral.Si bien Maine tiene sólo cuatro votos electorales, es uno de los dos estados que los divide. Trump ganó uno de los electores de Maine en 2020, por lo que dejarlo fuera de la boleta allí en caso de que surgiera como candidato republicano a las elecciones generales, podría tener enormes implicaciones en una contienda que se espera que se decida por estrecho margen.La decisión de la Secretaria de Estado, Shenna Bellows, sigue a un fallo de diciembre de la Corte Suprema de Colorado que expulsó a Trump de la boleta electoral en virtud de la Sección 3 de la 14ª Enmienda. Colorado es un estado de tendencia demócrata que no se espera que sea compet...

Maine bars Trump from ballot as US Supreme Court weighs states' authority to block former president

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:35:53 GMT

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally as the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to decide whether Trump remains eligible to return to the White House.The decision by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows follows a ruling earlier this month by the Colorado Supreme Court that booted Trump from the ballot there under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That decision has been stayed until the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether Trump is barred by the Civil War-era provision, which prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.The Trump campaign said it would appeal Bellows' decision to Maine's state courts, and Bellows suspended her ruling until that court system rules on the case. In the end, it is likely that the nation's highest court will have the fina...
