Maine and Texas are the latest fronts in voting battles
Maine's ballot measure would impose voter ID and absentee voting limits while Texas seeks to add a citizenship requirement; similar amendments have averaged 72% approval nationwide.
- On Nov. 4, Maine and Texas voters will decide election-related measures, with Maine's Question 1 on voter ID and Texas's Prop 16 barring noncitizens from voting.
- Supporters say election-roll checks in Texas and policies in at least 20 communities justify the measures, funded by Dinner Table PAC and the Republican State Leadership Committee.
- Question 1 in Maine would impose several changes including voter ID, capping drop boxes at one per municipality, eliminating two absentee days, banning phone or family absentee requests, and ending absentee status for seniors and voters with disabilities.
- Opponents have raised more than $1.6 million with the National Education Association as top donor, while state and FBI investigators probe dozens of unmarked ballots found in an Amazon order.
- Data show these measures have averaged 72% support, with fourteen states passing Citizen Only Voting Amendments since 2018, and Prop 16 would add Texas to the 20 states with citizen-only protections.
