An Open Letter

To: Rep. Pingree, Sen. Collins, Sen. King

From: A verified voter in South Portland, ME

February 8

Steve Bannon has publicly stated that ICE will “surround the polls” during the 2026 midterm elections. On his War Roompodcast, he declared, “You're damn right we're gonna have ICE surround the polls come November.” This, combined with president Trump’s call to nationalize elections is unacceptable! As you will know, these acts would be illegal, not to mention terrifying in our current political atmosphere, and are a brazen act of voter suppression!!! Scores of legal citizens will be too intimidated to go the polls, and safe alternatives such as mail in voting/drop boxes have already been targeted for severe reduction. THIS MUST BE STOPPED!!!! The United States is supposed to have a government by and for the people. When elections aren’t run properly, we don’t know who the people are for! All of these tactics to silence millions of Americans must be met within intense resistance.. What is your office doing to ensure this never happens? I’d love to see your response in the legacy media.
