AUGUSTA, MAINE – Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows today issued the following statement in response to 24 states and the District of Columbia filing a lawsuit today challenging the U.S. Postal Service’s finalized anti-mail voting rule:
“This is not over. Today, Maine joined states across the country in filing a lawsuit to stop this unconstitutional attack on every American who votes by mail. It is unconscionable that the Trump Administration and the U.S. Postal Service would try to change the rules around voting by mail. With Election Day now just 69 days away and voting for military and overseas voters less than a month away, it's important for Maine voters to realize that nothing has changed when it comes to the fundamental voting rights of every American in this country. You can still vote by mail. Even though Trump and the U.S. Postal Service seem to be doing their best to try to stop that, they have not yet been successful."
