Maine Sec. of State Fires Back at Trump DOJ Who Is Trying To Steal Their Voter Rolls

[CaughtInThe]

Hey, all you lying small government conservatives and all you lying Libertarians and all of you lying "states rights" folks, you're up.

Time for more lies. Time for more excuses. Time to continue to be for Gigantic CentGov as long as it's a republican.



"We stand by the integrity of Maine election officials at both the state and local level,” Bellows said in an exclusive interview with Democracy Docket. “Maine ranks consistently at the top of the nation in voter turnout because our voters have confidence in the strength of our systems. DOJ is targeting Maine and Oregon for political reasons. We won’t back down.”

I predict that the D's will finally pick up the Collins Senate seat.

Admittedly, that's not much of a prediction. One odds pasrlor has her at a top of 32% chance of retaining the seat.

A blue tsunami is coming...assuming we have an election.

They are still there. Don't tread on "ME" is their mantra. They are totally fine with others being trod upon. Hell, they will polish the jack boots that do it.

*fair election.

Everything MAGA accuses others of, it does.

And we know vast effort been expended to take seats in all election offices everywhere possible, where votes can be rejected. We know vast effort been expended to deny left-appointed judges a seat and ram through right-appointed judges. Guess who rules on various election issues.


Soooooooo given constant MAGA accusations of rigged elections..

Illinois told the DOJ to take a walk.

And I think Oregon too.

But since I'm down here in the south I'm sure my state is going to turn over even more information about me to Trump's HUGE government.

Soooooooo given constant MAGA accusations of rigged elections..

If there are tanks near inner-city polling places...
IMO, an unfair election is not considered an election.

I'm very concerned she'll find a way to win...
