I don't think I've seen a more relentlessly dishonest campaign than Yes on 1. It started with trickery that enabled them to get the anti-absentee ballot referendum qualified. They want voters to be misinformed about it and our election system. #mepolitics

Misinformation in Maine’s Voter Suppression Referendum Began with a Deceptive Title

Petition tactics hid absentee ballot limits. Question 1 proponents then used Newburgh ballots to mislead further.

Merchant mariners like Tom should be able to vote absentee: Passing Question 1 would strip Tom of his right to vote.

🤝 This Isn't Red vs. Blue — It’s Right vs. Wrong

#Republicans, #Democrats, and #Independents all rely on absentee voting. Question 1 doesn’t fix anything—it creates barriers, making it harder for everyone to vote.
