    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Donald Trump’s representatives say they will soon file an appeal so that he can stay on Maine’s 2024 Republican primary ballot.

    Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, made the decision to disqualify Trump, and on Monday spoke with All Things Considered host Scott Detrow about what led to that ruling, what comes next, and the threats she has faced since it was announced.

    And the evidence presented at the hearing demonstrated that they occurred at the behest of, and with the knowledge and support of, the outgoing president.

    Others have said this, but Maine Congressman Jared Golden is somebody who voted to impeach Trump for what he did on January 6, he made it clear he doesn’t want to see him in office again, and he said: "We are a nation of laws.

    And I voluntarily suspended the effect of my decision pending that court process, because we are a nation governed by the constitution of rule of law.

    Bellows: Under federal law all our military and overseas voters are eligible to receive their ballots 45 days prior to the presidential primary, which in Maine is on March 5.
