NEW: Conservatives in Maine have placed a measure on the Maine this November that'd restrict the ease of voting in a lot of ways — notably, with new barriers to voting by mail.
(The rules would be in place by next year's key Senate race.)

The measure will fail.
Coastal Maine frightened by their interior inferiors.

Whhooo boy, time to ✍️ more ✉️ 👩💻 🗣! I spend a lot of time near Presque Isle, not as many flags or signs now. That gives me a sliver of hope.

This is wrong regardless of its partisan impact, but given the realignment of high-propensity and low-propensity voters over the past decade, I also don’t think this stuff is going to work for them anymore.
