I support LD 266 “An Act to Require the Updating of Voter Registration Signatures”.
This is common sense legislation. This process will help to keep our Maine voter rolls cleaned up. Voter data changes constantly. People move, people die, people change parties. Election/voter integrity has been suspect in past elections. Why would any government/municipality be afraid of transparency?
This bill, once enacted into law, would help to restore registered voters’ faith in the fact that those on our voter rolls are supposed to be there.
I support LD 266 “and it ought to pass.”
