Maine Republican Party chair Joel Stetkis on Friday told a radio host that he’s going to make lots of noises and statements about Secretary of State Shenna Bellows’ ruling that fat former President Trump is ineligible to run again in the state due to that January 6th thing, Spectrum News reports.
“This political activism by Shenna Bellows, it’s not going to stand. At the party, since yesterday, we’ve been working on an appeal to the Maine Superior Court and we’re also reserving the right to return to a caucus system where Shenna Bellows will have absolutely no say in who Mainers choose for the Republican nominee for president,” said Stekis, adding that he’s raising money for MAGA state Senate and House candidates who promise to fire Bellows, as Maine is one of just a few states in which the Secretary position is appointed by the legislature. “The thing we’re working on over the next 10 months is winning that Legislature, having more Republicans in the Legislature than Democrats, and never having to have somebody like Shenna Bellows in a position of power to make these decisions to override the rights of the people.” Stekis did not add that Trump attempted to override the rights of the people by trying to remain in power after losing a free and fair election.
