Secretary Bellows was asked on Saturday about this impeachment effort.

She stands by her ruling and calls this effort a gambit and a distraction.

“It’s absurd and I don’t think it’s lawful under Maine’s constitution to bring impeachment of an elected official for doing their job and upholding the constitution and the rule of law," said Bellows. "But honestly, I think it’s a gambit to distract from disagreement over an issue and this process.”
