Franklin County Dems have knocked on close to 5200 doors this season. It's been awesome to work with this great team, and to talk to hundreds of voters who feel furious that those who wrote Question 1 have tried to shut out so many. Have you voted No on 1 yet?

Another great team talking with voters about the dangers of Question 1! Everyone we meet agrees: Mainers love to vote absentee, and the system is working well. Question 1 is a non-solution to a non-problem. Vote No on Question 1!

Awesome team of Franklin County Democrats knocking on doors to spread the word: Vote No on Question 1! This ballot measure is packed with restrictions on absentee voting - despite the fact that 40% of the state depends on this form of voting. Join us to spread the word - protect our freedom to vote!

Franklin County Dems are working hard to connect with voters about the dangers of Question #1 on our ballot this Nov.4th. If passed, it will end requesting a ballot by phone, it will end ongoing absentee voter status, it will ban prepaid postage on ballot return envelopes, and more. Vote No on Q1!

for the best post about this painful regime we're in right now, and that it's incumbent on all of us to "realize that even this seemingly subtler form of tyranny, the kind that wants only our withdrawal, is unacceptable."

The SAVE act is disastrous. Thank you @repjasmine.bsky.social for calling it what it is: Suppression.
Now Trump wants to make it HARDER to vote if your name doesn’t exactly match on every doc?? That hits married folks who change their names, disaster survivors who lost paperwork, and so many others. This ain’t about security—it’s suppression.

Trump seems to want to Make America Stupid Again. Cutting the DOE and university funding for strips positions, programs, and research.
He's deliberately going after all student learning.
Is this what voters wanted? Impoverishing schools impoverishes all of us.
