You sound like a very uncultured person

I don't know if it's typical, but my neighbors are definitely like this. I obviously don't talk to them, but they post their snapchats to the public map so sometimes I still see what they're up to.

Portland jetport has passed MHT in number of passengers recently.

Trump just can't handle losing NH, and the national vote as well , by almost 3 million votes.
NH is not making an issue over it, they are just asking for residency to be established. Does any part of that not make sense, or sound unreasonable?

That is the LePage out of staters reliant on a slanted left wing media for their info have come to know. Those who live in Maine, know a different LePage. One who has cut taxes, reformed the state's troubled pension system, solved the hospital debt problem, improved education, improved job training and the business climate, reduced energy costs, helped farmers, reformed welfare. His accomplishments are endless, and one of the reasons he is so resented by many members of the General Assembly.

Voter suppression, on the other hand, is widespread.
So there is no voter fraud, but voter suppression is widespread. How are votes suppressed? I guess it's now persecution asking people to put some cloths on, pause the Xbox and get their fat lazy joint smoking arse out to the polls that doesn't have a "safe space" to go hide from all of society and everything that offends them. Not only that, but voter ID laws are "racist".

A simple lexus nexus search will provide you with a wealth of information (in peer reviewed articles) on systemic voter suppression (as well as research into trying to find voter fraud), if you care to educate yourself. I've led you to the water before, but you seem incapable of drinking.

You can't talk to neighbors who are sports fans in a big sports town/city?

Voter fraud I have seen first hand (working as a poll watcher). A google search of voter suppression, turns up several pages of people whining about Voter ID laws (which is supported by most minorities as well in some of those states).

What, exactly, did you see happen? I've been a poll watcher and never seen any such thing. Sometimes people have shown up at the wrong location to vote, but I've never seen or heard about any true voter fraud. You must have been very lucky to see one of the handful of incidents that has ever occurred across the entire country.

LePage is also fighting an increase in Medicaid enrollment, even though the state residents have already voted in favor of it, and Lepage has no right to stand in the way. Trying to deny health care coverage to your own residents is not a beneficial thing, but maybe it is in your stilted world view. He'll be gone soon, and maybe Maine will recover from the carnage.

"Slanted left-wing coverage"....every post from you grows progressively more silly. Stay in your Faux/Sinclair "news" world, where the anchors repeat the same story, verbatim, as if reading from a script ( and they actually were, not long ago).
