Proposals to require voter ID fail in committee in Maine April 15, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Three proposals to require Maine voters to show photo identification before casting ballots failed to gain support in committee. The Maine Legislature s Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee voted down all the proposals on Wednesday. Each vote was by a 8-5 count, with Democrats who hold the majority on the committee voting against. Republicans proposed the bills, which differed on such details as what kinds of photo identifications could be used, the Portland Press Herald reported. The proposals can still go to the full legislature for votes later this year, but Democrats have a majority in the legislature as well.

Maine lawmaker looks to limit spam political texts April 12, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) A Maine lawmaker has introduced a proposal to limit annoying text messages from political campaigns and advocacy groups. Democratic Sen. Joe Rafferty of Kennebunk put the proposal before the Maine Legislature s Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee. He said he was motivated to make the proposal after he was “barraged on a daily basis with text, spam calls and emails” last fall. Rafferty s proposal is designed to “change the rules of engagement, consent and personal data shared between groups who participate in mass text campaigns and those they are sending texts to,” the Maine Legislature Senate Majority Office said in a statement.
