From The Guardian, "Maine disqualifies Trump from presidential primary ballot, citing insurrection clause":

Maine has blocked Donald Trump from its presidential primary ballot, becoming the second state to bar the former president from running, under a constitutional provision that prevents insurrectionists from holding office.

On 19 December, a decision made by Colorado's supreme court removed Trump from that state's primary ballot, citing the same constitutional clause and setting up a legal showdown at the US supreme court.

Maine's secretary of state Shenna Bellows examined the case after a group of citizens challenged Trump's eligibility and concluded that Trump should be disqualified for inciting an insurrection on January 6, 2021.

"I do not reach this conclusion lightly," said Bellows, a Democrat, in the decision. "I am mindful that no Secretary of State has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment. I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection.".........more.........
