I am responding to a letter in the Aug. 1 paper (“Voter ID will keep Maine elections secure“). I wonder if the writer really understands what he is writing about.
The voter ID initiative, Question 1 on the ballot this November, outlines exactly why it will not restore trust and confidence in our elections because it will disenfranchise many thousands of voters. He is sadly mistaken about Maine’s voting record, which is very safe.
The writer would be well advised to rethink his feelings and vote “No” on Question 1 in the fall.
