Way to GO Maine. Don't let them steal your voting rights.

Amen to that! I have a friend in Portland who must be having happy dreams about now! It's best to not mess with bedrock Yankees!

failure: it isn't like something changed is it? The same-day registration was already a law. It is very hard to overturn existing lawas. BTW, Republican or Democrat I, personally think it is a horrible law. it might fair to add, Maine is not exactly the most conservative state in the country..

Just another state that is willing to allow the Democrats to be able to commit voter fraud.

Maine has had same day registration for some 40 years. If there has been some voter fraud there over that time, I'm sure you'll be glad to provide a link to backup your claim...
