Why would she? The 14th Amendment, just as many other parts of the Constitution, is self executing. Even the Federalist Society says so. She held a hearing, as required by Maine law when a candidate is challenged. In that venue, evidence was provided by both sides, and she made a call based on the evidence. That is quite literally her job, in that particular state. If Trump had made a sufficient case, he would not have been removed. As it stands, he’s singing songs with people jailed for attacking the capital and selling them on iTunes. I humbly submit that anyone singing songs with people that attacked our capital and stating they are unjustly being punished. That alone can be classified as aid and comfort under the clause.
