The court upheld a judge’s decision to put the case on hold until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on a similar case in Colorado. The decision by Democrat Shenna Bellows to keep Trump off the primary ballot under the 14th Amendment has been met with controversy. The Maine Supreme Judicial Court cited voter confusion as a reason for not undertaking immediate appellate review. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on the Colorado case on Feb. 8, while Maine’s primary is approaching with tight timelines.
