SUMMARY:Canvass to Protect the Vote in Maine
DESCRIPTION:Join Swing Blue Alliance to defeat Maine’s voter suppression referendum on the ballot this November. We will canvass primarily Democratic voters in southern Maine to make sure we turn out every supporter. This ballot question\, underwritten by national Republicans\, would limit drop boxes\, mail-in and absentee voting\, and require identification\, which does not include student or tribal IDs.  It’s likely to be a low turnout election\, so our work will be especially impactful. Let’s work with the Maine Democrats to make sure we have accessible\, free and fair elections in Maine and show the country that citizens want to protect voting rights. \n\n\n\n\nGet more informaton
