I don’t know the specific legal authority granted to the Maine SoS, but the concept of their office issuing binding legal rulings, like an AG, struck me as odd.

I suppose a SoS can apply the law within their scope, but in this instance it would seem the more natural approach would be to litigate or ask the AG to rule.
