As a Mainer, I am disturbed that Rep. Golden, an elected official to the House of Representatives, would vote to disenfranchise the very people they were elected to represent.
Nothing is more sacred to Americans than the right to vote. It is the bedrock of the republic. The SAVE Act requires redundant and unnecessary paperwork in order to exercise the constitutional right to vote. It’s the very definition of un-American and as such is not what Mainers stand for.
We all expect better from all our elected officials from Maine.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
