State Representative Barbara Bagshaw was canvassing Windham, Maine, the way she does every cycle, when she reached an apartment building she knew was not in her district. She checked her printed voter books, then the next house, then the next. Her town clerk confirmed it: 110 voters had been relocated out of District 107 and into her District 106. The Secretary of State's office called it a glitch and offered to print her a new voter roll free of charge. Bagshaw won her first race by 23 votes. A friend won a school board seat by seven. She has now sent a formal letter to Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows demanding to know how it happened and whether it happened anywhere else.
Jenny Beth Martin is joined by Ambassador Carla Sands, who served as the United States Ambassador to Denmark, and by Representative Barbara Bagshaw of the Maine House of Representatives, District 106.
