Maine State Representative Laurel Libby (HD-90) joins Josh Findlay, host of the Election Protection Project Podcast, to discuss recent developments raising new concerns about the integrity of Maine’s elections — from ballots discovered in an Amazon delivery to the state Supreme Judicial Court’s decision to uphold disputed language for the upcoming voter ID ballot question.
During the episode, Libby addresses the calls for a federal investigation into the ballot incident and emphasized the importance of strengthening mail-in voting procedures and maintaining accurate voter rolls to preserve public trust in the electoral process.
Libby also highlights the controversy surrounding the voter ID ballot language, which many argue is misleading. The Citizens Initiative backing the measure filed a lawsuit challenging the language, contending that it confuses voters and fails to clearly reference voter ID requirements.
