➤➤ BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ escalates lawsuit against Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows
John,
We have a disturbing update: The Trump administration isn’t just suing Maine anymore. They’ve now filed a motion to compel in court, demanding that Secretary of State Shenna Bellows hand over voter registration data immediately.
Let’s be clear: This is an escalation.
Trump’s Department of Justice wants a federal court to force Maine to break its own state laws, override voter privacy protections, and hand over sensitive voter information. Why? Because Shenna Bellows had the courage to say no.
She refused to violate the trust of Maine voters. She stood up to a power-hungry administration trying to bully states into submission. And now, they’re trying to legally compel her to comply.
If they win this fight, no state’s data will be safe, and no election official will be immune from political retribution. This is part of a dangerous pattern: from Arizona to Oregon, the Trump administration is using lawsuits and legal threats to consolidate control over our elections.
Trump’s DOJ will not stop at Maine and Oregon. East or West, from corner to corner of this country, other states will be next. And unless we push back immediately and forcefully, this authoritarian playbook becomes the norm.
DASS is standing shoulder to shoulder with Secretaries of State like Shenna Bellows and Tobias Read, who are refusing to back down. But we need your help to keep up this fight in court, in the press, and in every battleground state.
