PINE TREE WATCH • May 28, 2020
Administrators in cities and towns across Maine are scrambling to determine the best way to safely conduct the July primary. The issue has become a political firestorm in recent weeks, fueled by President Trump’s efforts to undermine mail-in voting efforts across the country. The Maine Voting & Elections Coalition, which represents more than a dozen organizations, including the Maine Conservation Alliance, has submitted 2,334 petition signatures to Gov. Janet Mills, calling on her to sign an executive order providing for several measures, including that an absentee ballot be mailed to every registered voter with return postage.
