Press Release July 3, 2017
The letter reads, in part:
"We do not believe the Commission is genuinely seeking to preserve and promote voter participation and election integrity but rather is unjustifiably and inappropriately collecting information about voters in order to suppress voter participation and to promote a false narrative about voter fraud."
To date, sixteen states have stated publicly that they would not comply with the request, and the League believes that Maine should be among them.
