Fighting Back Against the Establishment

Politicians are trying to take away the people’s power in Maine - and voters are fighting back. In November of 2016, 388,273 Mainers voted yes to adopt Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), and three other measures – but within weeks, incumbent politicians tampered with or outright repealed all four of the citizen-backed initiatives. However, Maine’s constitution allows for a “People’s Veto” – a process that allows residents who are unhappy with an enacted state law to put that law up for a statewide vote. Now, two years later, residents are saying ‘no more’ with this people’s veto. Mainers gathered over 80,000 signatures in 88 days to put RCV back on the June 12th ballot.
