Calico JesseSome people* in my area are upset that the local League of Women’s Voters participated in the <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/HandsOff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandsOff</a> protest yesterday, because they are a non-partisan organization. Being pro-democracy and anti-fascist used to be non-partisan. If it isn’t anymore, what does that say about their party?*fascists<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Democracy</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Resist</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Antifa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antifa</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/LeagueOfWomenVoters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LeagueOfWomenVoters</a>

DoomsdaysCW<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maine</a>: As Maine eyes voter ID law, Trump order tightens federal registration rulesby Caroline LeCour, March 27, 2025"As Maine voters eye a statewide voter ID proposal, a new <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExecutiveOrder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExecutiveOrder</a> from President Donald <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> is adding another layer to the conversation around election integrity and access. "The order signed Wednesday would require proof of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USCitizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USCitizenship</a> to register for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FederalElections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FederalElections</a> and mandate that all ballots be received by Election Day—a change from the current system in many states that allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to count if received later."Though separate from Maine's voter ID proposal—which addresses identification at the polls rather than registration—some in the state see a common goal."'This is a policy, different policies to strengthen our elections, to increase confidence of voters to participate in our democratic process,' <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlexTitcomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AlexTitcomb</a>, of the grassroots organization The Dinner Table, [a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Conservative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Conservative</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PAC</a>] said. The group spared Maine's voter ID proposal, which was certified by the Maine Secretary of State earlier this year. "Critics argue that requiring documents many voters may not readily have—especially those whose names may not match across forms of ID—could discourage legitimate voters from participating."'A lot of married women have changed their names, some of their documents don't match up,' Jen Lancaster, with the League of Women Voters of Maine, said. 'Maybe they don't have the perfect document, and they get turned away. That's what <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterSuppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VoterSuppression</a> is. It's eligible voters being denied their right to vote.'"Lancaster says the executive order is likely to face legal challenges, echoing concerns from national <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VotingRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VotingRights</a> organizations."Read more: <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/as-maine-eyes-voter-id-law-trump-order-tightens-federal-registration-rules/ar-AA1BJQb9" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/as-maine-eyes-voter-id-law-trump-order-tightens-federal-registration-rules/ar-AA1BJQb9</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterDisenfranchisement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VoterDisenfranchisement</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Elections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Elections</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MainePol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MainePol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VoterID</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterIDAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VoterIDAct</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LeagueOfWomenVoters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LeagueOfWomenVoters</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbsenteeVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbsenteeVoting</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbsenteeBallots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbsenteeBallots</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VoterID</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SAVEAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SAVEAct</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USElections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USElections</a>
