Representative Barbara Bagshaw was knocking on doors in Windham when she noticed that addresses which sat in House District 107 last cycle now appear in her own District 106. She wrote a formal letter to Maine's Secretary of State asking whether it happened anywhere else, whether the rolls will be audited, and whether any standard procedure was followed at all. Meanwhile the United States Senate has four scheduled days before it leaves Washington for the entire month of August, and the SAVE America Act, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, is not on the Majority Leader's calendar. Fifty senators are already on record. Sixty are needed to break a filibuster.
