Recent voter registration mailing not from State Elections division

2 mins read

AUGUSTA – The Maine Division of Elections is responding to complaints about a recent voter registration outreach mailing that is being sent to Maine households by an independent organization.

“Our office has received numerous complaints from relatives of deceased voters who have received mailings,” said Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap, “and we want to assure the public that our office is not involved in this effort.”

The mailing is being sent by an organization called Vote Forward, a volunteer organization based in Alabama that enlists individuals to send handwritten letters to potential Democratic voters, asking them to register and vote. Along with the letters, the organization is sending pre-filled voter registration applications as part of a voter registration drive.

The Maine Division of Elections has no connection to this organization and did not collaborate in any way on the mailing, even though the address of this office is printed on the return mailer. The names and contact information for the individuals receiving the mailings are not being provided to Vote Forward by this office. Thus, both the voter list and Maine Voter Registration Application form they are using is outdated.

“While it is very upsetting for family members to receive letters addressed to deceased relatives, accessing public records is legal and no Maine election laws are being broken,” said Secretary Dunlap.

Those who receive these mailings addressed to a deceased family member are advised to discard it and do not need to correct any information on file with the Elections Division.

  1. All I hear is crickets from the perps on the left.

    The money behind this scam must be not just dark money but extra super size double dark money…
    Just watch the leftist circus trying to get Collins out…
    You ain’t seen nothing yet.
    Hilarious,, isn’t it.

  2. These geniuses are right. Their side is right 100% of the time. You’d think they’d be proud enough to sign their names so we could consult them before we vote. Actually it’s a good thing that THEY don’t!

  3. Common tactics: Yes, getting people to register to voteby sending out mailings is a common tactic …..used by who? All political parties!

    Best solution to this devious tactic: Get informed, go to your town hall, register to vote, and do so every time there is something to vote on.

    Get informed on issues and candidates from multiple sources….don’t believe everything anyone source has to say without verifying.

    Look to news sources for news, and opinion contributors for opinions…..good luck, and thank you for supporting your community!

  4. Many RED states (such as Alabama) throw up all kinds of roadblocks to prevent or hinder voter registration. Even though REGISTERING TO VOTE isn’t the same as actually voting, it can be very worrisome to those who fear “change”.
