I wouldnt characterize it that way. This ruling named the "Gordon Challenge" and defined it as contesting Trumps qualification under the 22nd Amendment. But it concludes Trumps petition is invalid due to the Section 3 of the 14th.
It is interesting though, that someone challenged his petition under the 22nd.
There is only one problem with that logic, Joe Biden was the one sworn into office By the same standard, we could say that Stacey Abrams is the current Governor of Georgia.
In other words, Maine is acknowledging that Donald Trump is the rightful winner in 2020.

This is the interesting part. Much better than ariel's cover page screenshot.
Attorney Paul Gordon is a registered voter of Portland....
The logic behind his claim is that Trump expressed he won the 2020 election so he's barred from a third term.
