Democrat Secretary Of State Kicks Trump Off Maine Ballot - Isn't it the very definition of 'tyranny' that one person unilaterally decides that the residents of Maine do not deserve democracy?

Excerpt:
"A day after former president Trump's lawyers demanded the Maine secretary of state recuse herself from her upcoming decision on the former president’s ballot eligibility under the 14th Amendment - citing her past statements about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot; Shenna Bellows - a Democrat - has kicked Trump off the state's primary ballot.
The letter from Trump's lawyers seeking Bellows' recusal cites two social media posts Bellows issued the day Trump was acquitted in his second impeachment trial, which concerned the Capitol riot.
“The Jan 6 insurrection was an unlawful attempt to overthrow the results of a free and fair election. Today 57 Senators including King & Collins found Trump guilty. That’s short of impeachment but nevertheless an indictment. The insurrectionists failed, and democracy prevailed,” Bellows wrote on Twitter, the platform now known as X.
The letter also takes aim at a post Bellows issued on the one-year anniversary of Jan. 6, in which she reposted a news report highlighting Bellows’s efforts to protect election workers.
“One year after the violent insurrection, it’s important to do all we can to safeguard our elections,” Bellows wrote.
Thus, the lawyers argued, Bellows "has already passed judgment" on Trump's "core assumptions."
But, as The Hill reports, unlike other states, where plaintiffs have sued over Trump’s eligibility in court, Maine’s system first allows the secretary of state to weigh in - unilaterally, Judge Dredd-style.
As she explains, 'she is the law!'
Shenna Bellows, who was never popularly elected statewide, says the usual rules of evidence don't apply to her newly-invented procedure, which is governed by Maine administrative law, therefore authorizing her to accept the Jan 6 Committee Report as admissible probative evidence"

Another Deep State agent twists the law to protect the unconstitutional powers of the Deep State.
Try her for treason and when found guilty execute her.
