A day after she removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the insurrection clause of the Constitution, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows was the target of a swatting call. Swatting is a prank that involves calling emergency services and making them send a large number of first responders, including SWAT teams, to a residence.

Bellows was not at home when the fake emergency call was made, and officers found nothing wrong. States are considering stronger penalties for swatting cases, as suspects are being arrested and charged. Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also faced a swatting attempt at her Georgia home on Christmas morning, according to the congresswoman and local police. A New York man called the Georgia suicide hotline and said he had killed his girlfriend at Greene’s home and was going to kill himself.

Police said they were trying to find the caller and make a criminal case. Another New York man got three months in prison in August for making threatening calls to Greene’s office in Washington, D.C. The Maine Department of Public Safety did not say why they think Bellows was swatted, but she was sure it was because of her decision to take Trump off the ballot.

A conservative activist had shared her home address on social media with anger and violent intent, she said. “Those who have been sending threatening messages to me, my family and my office posted it,” Bellows said to The Associated Press on Saturday in a phone call. An unknown man called emergency services and said he had entered a house in Manchester, the Maine public safety department said.

The house was Bellows’ home. Bellows and her husband were gone for the holiday weekend. Maine State Police went to what the public safety department said was a swatting call.

At Bellows’ request, police checked the house inside and out. Nothing suspicious was discovered, and police are still investigating. “The Maine State Police is working with our law enforcement partners to pay special attention to any and all appropriate locations,” the public safety statement said. Bellows said the intimidation won’t affect her. “I’m not doing anything differently. I’m doing my job to uphold the Constitution, the rule of law.”

Bellows said she and her family and office staff have gotten threats since she took Trump off the ballot. A Republican lawmaker in Maine wants to impeach her for that.

Bellows, who worked in civil rights before becoming secretary of state, said, “There have been not only threatening messages, but also fake images and texts online that pretend to be me.” She said, “My past work showed me that dehumanizing people is the first step to making an environment that leads to violence and attacks on that person.” She said, “It is very dangerous for the rhetoric to get to the point of dehumanizing and threatening me, my family and the people who work for me.”

She said the people of Maine can disagree on important issues without violence. She said, “It is very important that everyone calm down the rhetoric and remember the values that make our state and our democratic republic so great.” The Trump campaign said it will challenge Bellows’ decision in Maine’s state courts, and Bellows put her ruling on hold until the court system decides on the case.

The Colorado Supreme Court took Trump off that state’s ballot earlier this month, a decision that was also paused until the U.S. Supreme Court decides if he would be blocked under the insurrection clause, a provision from the Civil War that bans those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.
