Maine Supreme Court Won’t Hear Secretary of State’s Appeal on Trump Ballot Access

On January 24, the Maine Supreme Court rejected the Secretary of State’s appeal in the lawsuit involving ballot access for former President Donald Trump.  The lower court had put the Secretary of State’s decision in abeyance pending resolution of the Colorado case in the U.S. Supreme Court.  The Secretary of State of Maine had then tried to persuade the State Supreme Court to reinstate her decision.  But the State Supreme Court said the lower court ruling isn’t yet final, so it isn’t possible to appeal it.

Thus, Trump remains on the Maine Republican presidential primary ballot.

Here is the ruling.  Trump v Secretary of State, 2024-ME-5.
