Maine House Defeats Proposal to Make it More Difficult to get Initiatives on Statewide Ballot

On February 23, the Maine House defeated LD 742. It was a proposed state constitutional amendment to require that statewide initiatives would need signatures equal to 10% of the last gubernatorial vote in each of the two U.S. House districts. Currently law has no distribution requirement. The vote was 90-57 in favor, but it needed two-thirds. Thanks to Thomas MacMillan for this news.
