On Sunday afternoon, Platner filled the State Theatre, an historic art deco venue in Portland in Maine’s largest city, with close to 1,000 people eager to hear how the campaign planned to save absentee voting in the Pine Tree State. The voter suppression initiative would hobble absentee voting in the state with the oldest population in the country, enact strict voter ID requirements, and severely limit access to ballot dropboxes. In the last election cycle, more than 40% of Mainers used absentee voting. Polls have shown voters evenly divided on the measure, which could have considerable implications for the 2026 general election.

Disgusting imperialist propaganda. Very disappointing from them.
