  1. CW: Occasional Foul Language. Always Political.

    The feds are quietly building a blueprint to weaponize the postal system against mail-in ballots right before the midterms, and the courts just declined to stop it. Let's break down the administrative map they're leaving active. 🧵 (1/7)

  2. #MaineQuestion1 is a good reason to vote in an "off-year" election (you know, when the sneaky types try and pass shit!).

    #Mainers like #AbsenteeVoting. Question 1 would make that option harder.

    The November referendum has been framed around requiring #VoterID, but it also includes a host of changes to absentee voting.

    Excerpt: "#MaineVoters have come to increasingly rely on absentee or #MailInBallots — a practice that is routinely targeted by #Republicans politicians as rife with potential fraud, even though evidence doesn’t support that.

    "During last year’s presidential election, almost half of all votes cast were absentee. The latest citizen-initiated proposal would make that more difficult.
    If passed, it would prohibit voters from requesting absentee ballots by phone, and would require older Mainers and those with disabilities to renew their eligibility each year. The proposal also would limit the number of #DropBoxes municipalities are allowed to have and prohibit them from including prepaid return postage."
