Here we are again, with completely unfounded claims of widespread fraud now being used to try to get us to vote away many things that Mainers like about our voting system. These are not just “small changes.”
If passed, Question 1, on this fall’s ballot, would eliminate two days of absentee voting and drastically restrict the number of ballot drop boxes our towns and cities can have. It would stop everyone, including elderly and disabled people, from calling their local town or city office for an absentee ballot. It would no longer allow a close family member to deliver the absentee ballot for that elderly or disabled person. And it would end ongoing absentee ballot delivery for the elderly.
This fall please vote “no” on Question 1. It goes way too far.
