MAINE BEACON (Maine People's Alliance) • June 9, 2020
After numerous states saw massive lines at the polls and delays in reporting results, advocates in Maine are asking the state to take additional precautions to protect Maine voters’ access in the July 14 primary. Gov. Janet Mills has issued an executive order extending the deadlines to receive absentee ballots and submit voter registration applications by mail or through a third-person. But a local coalition of pro-democracy groups, including Maine Conservation Alliance, is concerned those steps do not go far enough to make voting accessible to all Mainers.
