(The Center Square) — Maine Democrats have rejected a GOP-led proposal to initiate impeachment proceedings against Secretary of State Shenna Bellows for removing former president Donald Trump from the ballot.

The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives on Tuesday voted 80-60 along party lines not to take up a proposal filed by Republican lawmakers to create a special committee to look into allegations of “misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance and other misconduct” by Bellows, a Democrat who oversees the state’s elections.
