While nothing has been proven, who on Congress is watching this???
“Absentee votes largely show what is academically considered to be a consistent (normal) voting pattern. Early and Election Day votes show statistical signatures of vote manipulation.”
#VoteAbsentee if possible where you live.
Defend Your Voting Rights! Vote NO on 1 November 4 Coming to your ballot in November: "Do you want to change Maine election laws to eliminate two days of absentee voting, prohibit requests for absentee ballots by phone or family members, end ongoing absentee voter status for seniors and people with disabilities, ban prepaid postage on absentee ballot return envelopes, limit the number of drop boxes, require voters to show certain photo ID before voting, and make other changes to our elections?" What would this referendum do if it became law? → It would eliminate ongoing absentee voting for elderly and disabled Mainers. → It would eliminate two of the most popular days for early absentee voting. → It would require voters to show an approved form of ID to obtain their ballot. → It would limit the number of secure ballot drop-off boxes a town may offer → It would second-guess town clerks, requiring a two-person, "bipartisan" team to check ballot boxes, instead of the clerk or a trusted member of their staff. This restriction will place undue pressure on town clerks, and will lead to many towns simply getting rid of their secure drop boxes. → It would prohibit towns from including return postage on absentee ballots, even if taxpayers vote to fund it. → It would prevent voters from requesting a ballot over the phone, making it harder for those without reliable transportation or internet to request an absentee ballot. → You can read the full draft proposal at https://tinyurl.com/VoterProposal.

What can I do? Fair, secure, and accessible elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. It will be up to Maine voters to protect their own and their neighbor's access to the ballot box. In the months leading up to the election, pro-democracy organizations will be hosting a variety of events to protect your access to the ballot box. But there are also a variety of ways for you to pitch in on your own. When you talk to people or write about this, think about what access to absentee voting means to you, your family, your friends, and your neighbors: → If this referendum becomes law, you'd no longer be able to pick up or drop off a ballot for your elderly parent who lives in another town. → Your disabled neighbor wouldn't be able to just pick up the phone and request a ballot from their town office - even though they ve done just that for years. → Local town and city clerks wouldn't be able to check their own drop-off boxes, meaning many would simply opt to not have a drop-off box. → People who need to work all day on Election Day - health care workers, direct care workers, delivery drivers - would effectively lose access to absentee voting. Talk to your friends and family: We know a lot of information - and misinformation - will be circulating about this referendum. Talk to your friends and family about how they're feeling about it. Remember: We all want our elections to be as secure as possible. Reasonable people can disagree about Voter ID rules, but this referendum is bad for everyday Maine people, especially seniors and rural voters, who rely on absentee voting. Write a Letter to the Editor: Your local papers are constantly accepting letters to the editor. These letters are brief (about 200-300 words), and are a great way for you to share your opinion and experience with your neighbors.
