You can't get on airplane without a photo ID. You can't buy beer without a photo ID. You can't pick up prescription drugs without a photo ID. Surely protecting the integrity of elections is at least as important as those things.
Democrat Gov. Janet Mills strongly opposed voter ID during a debate with her opponents on Tuesday evening, saying Maine residents “don’t need” to show proof of identification and argued it would “inhibit” voting.
The debate moderators asked Mills, Republican candidate and former Maine Gov. Paul LePage, and Independent challenger Sam Hunkler if they were each prepared to accept the gubernatorial election results. LePage said he would “absolutely” accept the results and criticized the moderators for asking that question instead of bringing up the FBI and big tech’s interference in the 2020 election.I’ve never rejected any election, including the 2020 presidential election. And I think that’s an absurd question, quite frankly. I will tell you one thing I’m concerned about. You talk about democracy, but one thing you did not mention, is censorship from the left.
“We don’t need it here in Maine,” Mills responded. “We don’t need it. We have integrity in our elections. We have a huge turnout, which is which validates our democracy.”
