Letter to the editor: Support disenfranchised D.C. residents in their quest for statehood


Letter to the editor: Support disenfranchised D.C. residents in their quest for statehood

Joe Baldacci is sponsoring a top-two open-primary bill in Maine, L.D. 1121. It’s truly democracy in action! In an op-ed in the Bangor Daily News, Sen. Chloe Maxmin states: “Building an inclusive democracy starts with semi-open primaries.” Why?
In 2017 the Bangor League of Women Voters recommended a top-four open primary with ranked-choice voting, which the state league rejected. Nearly four years later the Maine League commended the Alaska voter and Alaska League for achieving this first-in-the-nation goal. Alas, Maine could have lived its motto to lead the nation! ....
