There's a referendum in Maine to repeal the GOP's law to end same-day voter registration. Protect Maine Votes is running the campaign to repeal the regressive Republican law. They released their first ad this week. It's viewable here.
Here's some background on Question 1:
Since 1973, eligible Mainers have been able to register and vote on Election Day.Protect Maine Votes needs donations, as the success or failure of this referendum is going to be based on how many pro-voting rights people they are able to turn out to the polls. You can contribute to their critically important efforts at ActBlue.
It’s a system that has worked, and there’s no good reason to change it.
A “Yes” vote on Question 1 in November will protect voting rights and repeal the new law that eliminates Election Day registration.
We have never had a significant problem with voter fraud. We do not need this new law, and we should reject it because it could discourage many qualified Mainers from voting.
