Hoax bomb threats made against government buildings across US for second straight day, authorities say By Sara Smart, Amy Simonson and Hannah Rabinowitz, CNN (CNN) — Hoax bomb threats were made against government buildings in several states on Thursday, authorities said, a day after similar threats led to the temporary evacuations of several states’ capitol buildings.

In Maine, for example, the Cumberland County courthouse in Portland was evacuated after a bomb threat was emailed there at 10:15 a.m. Thursday, Portland police said. Police checked the building with dogs, and it was reopened at 11:30 a.m. after nothing was found, police said.

No states reported finding any threatening items in those buildings Wednesday. news.lee.net When will the MAGAscum start blowing up Capitol buildings?

Illinois voters ask elections board to take Trump off 2024 ballot

By Hannah Rabinowitz, CNN

(CNN) — A group of voters from Illinois asked the state board of elections Thursday to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot, making it the most recent state where the former president faces a challenge to his candidacy under the 14th Amendment’s so-called insurrectionist ban.

The challenge, filed in conjunction with the liberal advocacy group Free Speech For People, asks the Illinois Board of Elections to hold a hearing on the matter and bar Trump from appearing on both the primary and general election ballots because of his role in the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.

“Donald J. Trump, through his words and actions, after swearing an oath as an officer of the United States to support the Constitution, engaged in insurrection or rebellion, or gave aid and comfort to its enemies, as defined by Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment,” the voters wrote in their petition to the board of elections.

The petition adds that Trump “has never expressed regret that his supporters violently attacked the U.S. Capitol” and threatened lawmakers inside, and that “Trump has not apologized to anyone, either on his own behalf or on behalf of his supporters, for the January 6 attack.”

The party affiliation of the voters, if any, was not listed.

The challenge in Illinois comes as the US Supreme Court is widely expected to review a state court ruling in Colorado which found that Trump is ineligible to run for office. Though the Colorado ruling only applies to that state, any decision from the justices could settle the matter for the entire nation.

Each state has different rules for how challenges like these are adjudicated. Some challenges start in the courts, while others are initially handled by state election officials, like a Secretary of State.

Last week, Maine’s secretary of state removed Trump from that state’s 2024 primary ballot, and the former president’s team on Tuesday appealed that decision in state court.

The Oregon Supreme Court could soon rule on another bid to remove Trump from that state’s primary and general election ballots because of his role in the January 6 insurrection.

Judges in Michigan and Minnesota, however, rejected bids to block Trump from appearing on the primary ballot in those states.
