Maine Bill To Re-Label “Unenrolled” Voters as “Independent” Voters, Dies

A bill pending in the Maine legislature, LD 3, has made no progress by certain legislative deadlines, and is therefore dead. It would have said that the term for voters who are not registered in a qualified party is “Independent Voter”, not “Unenrolled voter.”

  1. Because they are “not enrolled” in a party. You apparently are not “enrolled” to vote buyt “registered.”

    So it’s a big semantics game.

  2. You do not “enroll” in a party, either – so much for semantics.
    Alabama registers voters by “Race”, not party – thanks, in part, to the Voting Rights Act.
