Report: Big Number of Overseas Ballots with No Oversight Swings Maine Elections to Democrats
A huge upswing in overseas votes with no oversight won several elections for the Democrats in Maine, a report says. At issue is the state’s UOCAVA ballots (Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act), which allows people who are supposedly citizens of Maine but who are currently living overseas to vote via email, fax, or mail. But the policy has no oversight and allows people who have never lived in Maine, never paid taxes in Maine, and have no intention of living in Maine in the future to vote just because they said they want to.
