EXCELLENT OpEd on Ranked Choice Voting and how we must win this vote to save democracy in Maine.

If you have had it with politicians in Augusta (mainly LePage and the Republicans) attacking our progressive referendums, then please help with the vote in June to restore Ranked Choice Voting. In fact, they are attacking the entire referendum process.

Even as we speak LePage and his right wing minions in Augusta are doing all they can to block MaineCare Expansion which just passed in November with almost 60% of the vote.

We need OpEds and Letters to the Editor.

This OpEd is just excellent and spot on correct: https://www.centralmaine.com/2018/03/01/diane-russell-ranked-choice-voting-supporters-are-fighting-to-save-democracy/

Thanks!
