Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has appealed the Maine Superior Court decision to defer to the U.S. Supreme Court on matters of former President Donald Trump’s eligibility as a candidate.

On Jan. 17, the court had disagreed with Ms. Bellows and wrote that the high court could well address all of the issues raised in the Maine challenge to President Trump’s eligibility. On Jan. 19, Ms. Bellows filed a notice of appeal, which had a deadline of three days after the court issued its decision.
