What happened in Maine was it was a decision from the secretary of state. So it was an individual. It was not a court that decided, it was the secretary of state. Secretary of state is not a lawyer. She is not an elected official by the people. She is elected by the state legislature in Maine. She made a determination. The next step in Maine is for that to be challenged in Maine judicial court in state court. (01:10–01:20)
