Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows on Saturday said her home was the target of a swatting call and she has received threats since her ruling Thursday that Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the state’s ballot in the Republican primary in 2024.
“This behavior is unacceptable. The non-stop threatening communications the people who work for me endured all day yesterday is unacceptable,” Bellows, a Democrat, wrote on Facebook Saturday afternoon. “It’s designed to scare not only me but also others into silence, to send a message.”
The Maine Department of Public Safety issued a statement Saturday confirming the swatting call.
At approximately 8:15 p.m. Friday, first responders at Augusta Regional Communication Center received a call from an unknown man who told them he had broken into a home on Kerns Hill Road in Manchester, according to the statement.
Troopers responded to the residence and checked the outside of the home as well as conducted an interior sweep of the home at Bellows’s request, but did not find anything suspicious. Officials determined it was a swatting call.
In her post, Bellows thanked people for their concern and support.
”Thank you for the messages of love and support. I’ve been moved by every one and especially by those from friends and loved ones who disagree with my decision but have reached out to express love and respect,” she wrote.
According to the post, Bellows and her husband Brandon Baldwin were away for the holiday weekend when the call took place. She said their address was posted online.

Bahahahahahahahahahaha. Goose gander
Don’t fool yourselves ya’ll......false flag op
she’s playing the victim.
And her criticizing of the Electoral College is a stunner. The only reason Maine (and the other BillyBob backwater states) have any input in the electoral process is because of it.
Otherwise, Boston, New Yawk, Chitcago, Los Angeles and Sam FranksDisco would determine the outcome.
For some reason I am feeling as sorry for her as I would for a rattlesnake that got ran over.
Put her under a lie detector test. My money says she would never pass.

Excellent point that needs to go viral.
But, of course, they can't find those that swatted MTG, Tim Pool or others not on the left.
All of a sudden MSN is concerned about the homes of public officials being swatted?
Most likely.
But if it was a real swatting, you can bet that the perpetrators will be rolled up in the next two weeks. The Federales can find swatters if they are directed to do that.
This "victim" is not on the approved target list, being a useful minion of the Deep State people. I have no sympathy for her.
A news item included her sob story statement —
Dear friends,
Thank you for the messages of love and support. I’ve been moved by every one and especially by those from friends and loved ones who disagree with my decision but have reached out to express love and respect. Many of you have asked if Brandon and I are safe. We are away for the holiday weekend. We were not home yesterday when threats escalated, and our home address was posted online. It was a good thing because our home was swatted last night.
I’m calling the Mods on you. That’s terrible.
Rattlesnakes eat vermin.
They were a lot gentler with her than they would have been with a Republican.
This was a set up to garner sympathy and make the right look bad. Now she can play the victim.
Brandon probably was the caller!!
Turnabout s fair play. The SoS seems extremely naive.
lol...
Awww...
It's not until Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries and members of the Biden family get swatted that all this will stop.
Yep - when an R is involved their attitude is ‘well, it COULD have happened and better to be safe than sorry’ but when it is a d, ‘OMG!!!!!! THIS COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE!!!!!’
