Doubling down on the voter suppression Save Act shows you do not serve us

To: Rep. Golden

From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

May 3

I am appalled by the way you are doubling down on the save act and not listening to facts and data. As so many have said this is a solution looking for a problem. Voting by non citizens is already exceedingly rare and already illegal. Why you are spending time on this? Do you understand what this will do to armed forces stationed aboard? Do you understand how this amounts to a poll tax? Do you understand how this gins up mistrust of elections and suspicion of people not born in America? Why are you not listening to reason and facts? When did you last hold a town hall? I am appalled that your most recent newsletter was about the Save act again, doubling down on your ill-informed voter suppression opinions. You work for us, you should listen to us. Maine has been a national leader for its access to the ballot and well run elections. Stubbornly promoting this bill proves you do not work for Maine. Your activity undermines representative democracy.
