Extremist wants to be governor because she threw Trump off ballot in 2024 election

Shenna Bellows is an extremist acting as Maine’s secretary of state.

She’s so far from mainstream she refused to provide information necessary for the U.S. Department of Justice to make certain the state was complying with federal law.

She got sued and the case remains under way as she is refusing to comply with the Civil Rights Act by preserving and producing on request records pertaining to federal elections, the DOJ charges.

She’s on record on her own website blasting President Donald Trump for working to make elections secure, opposing agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement  enforcing federal law, working to disclose ICE agents’ identities by pausing undercover license plates, supporting those “extreme risk protection orders” that deprive Americans of their constitutional rights without any process, much less due process, supporting “tribal sovereignty” and more.

Now she’s officially reached that wet spot at the end of a long walk on a short dock.

Bellows is insisting she wants to be elected, democratically, to be governor in Maine because she tried to overthrow democracy.

“Bellows is touting her removal of Trump from the (2024) ballot, an effort that led to a unanimous Supreme Court swatting down Colorado and Maine,” explained constitutional law professor, respected commentator and legal analyst Jonathan Turley.

“Bellows is virtually giddy recounting her efforts to stymie democracy and prevent voters from casting their ballots for the man who ultimately won the election,” he explained.

She’s not the only Democrat going to extremes, he pointed out.

“Democrats have been running this year on the pledges to launch a virtual roundup of Trump officials and supporters for investigations and impeachments. New York congressional candidate George Conway is pledging to change impeachment rules to secure the removal of President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance.”

But Bellows, he said, “is parading her willingness to do things barred by the Constitution.”

He explained, “Campaigning on an unconstitutional act rejected 9-0 by the Supreme Court (including three liberal justices) truly captures this age of rage. … Bellows is effectively saying that she was willing to do what other Democrats were unwilling to do: violate the Constitution.”

Formerly with the ACLU, she “has long embraced extreme political and historical viewpoints, including denouncing the electoral college as a ‘relic of white supremacy.'”

And she’s claimed voter ID laws are “rooted in white supremacy.”

And the January 6, 2021, protest and riot at the Capitol was, she claims, an “insurrection [and] an unlawful attempt to overthrow the results of a free and fair election.”

“Notably, polls show the public rejecting the claim of an insurrection and neither Trump nor his associates were ever charged with insurrection. Yet, it is certifiably established that Bellows attempted to violate the Constitution and subvert the democratic process,” Turley pointed out.

Notably, Bellows campaign to violate the Constitution failed.

“A superior judge enjoined her, and she repeatedly and unsuccessfully tried to get the matter before a higher court. In other words, it did nothing but generate publicity for Bellows and was an utter failure that ended in the 9-0 loss in the Colorado case. Bellows did not even get to join Colorado in defending the effort,” he said.

But he confirmed, “The irony is crushing. Bellows is posting videos declaring that she has attempted to instruct Trump on the Constitution … She sought to prevent democracy by blocking the candidate who went on to win the election handily.”

The danger is in her attraction to the “perpetually enraged,” he noted.
