🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration illegally changed a form used by overseas voters to register and request mail ballots just weeks before the midterms, Democrats argue in a new lawsuit filed Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump admin quietly changed overseas voter form at 11th hour to disenfranchise Democrats, lawsuit says
The change is part of a Republican plan to make it more difficult to vote or outright disenfranchise a bloc of voters viewed as more inclined to vote Democratic, the DNC lawsuit argues.

I've been a sportsman in Maine my whole life, long before I thought about running for office. Paul LePage's record on Maine's outdoors speaks for itself, he's sided with developers over conservation again and again. Sportsmen deserve better in Washington. Watch our new ad 📺️ 👇️

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

It’s Maine’s turn to be concerned about Susan Collins | Editorial
The senator's complacent response to open allegations of bribery sends voters a very clear and disrespectful message.

This is a terrible ruling, but it is limited in scope. States will need to voluntarily participate in Trump’s voter purge scheme. So Republican run States will do it, most Democratic States will not. Now is the right time to yell at your State’s Secretary of State to not rig the election for MAGA.
