(Say what now?*)~"The decision means the administration can move ahead with planning for restricting the use of mail #ballots even as a lower court continues to weigh the legality of Trump's executive order"

Supreme Court Upholds Trump Mail-in Ballot Rules
The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration's mail-in ballot rules, dismissing a lawsuit that sought to block changes to US Postal Service policies. In a 6-3 decision, the court decided that states don't have the grounds to challenge the White House's executive order.

#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.
Rachel Ohm, August 24, 2025
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."Archived version:
