So much for the polling calling this close.
Maine has voted in a landslide to reject a Republican-supported ballot initiative that would have restricted voting access heading into the critical 2026 midterms

for everyone very concerned about Maine elections, there's a ballot measure this November, funded by Leonard Leo, to make voting a lot harder in the state. Could have big impact in 2026 if it passes
