The prevailing legal theory at the moment is that Trump is automatically disqualified by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. This can apparently be unilaterally imposed by the Secretary of State in any individual state. This resolves YES if the Maine Secretary of State makes a choice to enforce this constitutional provision, regardless of the outcome of subsequent legal challenges.

Premature resolution @BTE? I initially loaded on YES but then realized your question only talks about the general election, but this decision seems to only affect the primary. I am still reading the decision to confirm. What's your thoughts on this?
@mint Ah yes I unresolved. I suspect since this is unilateral it applies to both primary and general. Wouldn’t make sense for her to withhold from primary and then change mind later when stakes are even higher, but you are correct about the wording. I got too excited!!
@BTE I also suspect it would apply to both should we reach that point, but I think we need to off of her initial ruling and decision for now.
@JaredHoffman So is he removed or not? It sounds like he could be removed in the future, but currently is not?
