Senator Susan Collins

Senator Susan Collins of Maine is a swing vote against the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.  Right now, we can’t get a hold of her offices because all the phones are jammed.  That’s amazing.  Keep calling.

But here is the important thing about Collins: she primarily only listens to her constituents, people from Maine.  

Well, I'm from Maine.

So if you have a message for Senator Collins, leave it here, and I will bring them to her office.

Want Your Absentee Vote To Count? Don't Make These Mistakes
About 1 in 5 voters now mails in his ballot. But many ballots are rejected because they arrive late, the voter forgets to sign the form or the signature does not match the one on record.

Those mistakes are often easy to avoid. Here are some:

  • The voter forgets to sign the ballot envelope, as required.
  • The voter sends the envelope back, but forgets to include the ballot.
  • The voter uses the wrong envelope.
  • The voter already voted in person.
  • The voter’s signature on the ballot envelope doesn’t match the one on file.

Ugh. 

Dear anyone,

If you see someone spreading images like this:

or this

They are  either deeply uneducated about the voting process or they are an asshole. 

You cannot vote with a hashtag. 

I trust that most of you are aware of this, but for a lot of people this will be their first election and I want to make sure.
