Portland Press Herald: “The eight-hour hearing was held at the State House and presided over by Secretary of State Shanna Bellows, who plans to rule on the validity of the challenges by Dec. 22. It focused largely on whether Bellows has the authority to decide whether Trump may appear on the ballot – or if that decision lies with federal authorities or courts – and the history of Section 3.”
