On March 4, U.S. District Court Judge John A. Woodcock, a Bush Jr. appointee, refused to let petitioners for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. petition at the polls on March 5, the presidential primary date in Maine. Here is the opinion. The judge relied heavily on the Secretary of State’s argument that Kennedy is free to have his petitioners work at the polls on June 11, when Maine holds a primary for non-presidential office. Team Kennedy v Bellows, 1:24cv-52.
Other petitioners will be allowed on March 5. The difference is that the other petitions don’t concern presidential candidates.
The lawsuit also challenges the law that says presidential elector candidates must be registeed voters, but the decision postpones settling that.
They should not have e asked for permission to do this. They should have just shown up and dome it.
It should be irrelevant that it is a presidential petition because a) it is free speech, and b) the election is a PRIMARY for the Democratic and Republican parties to see who their presidential candidates will be, it is NOT for the general election, whereas RFK Jr. is NOT running in the primary to be a nominee of either the Democratic or Republican parties, he is gathering petition signatures to get on the ballot in the general election as an independent candidate for President, so the petition he is doing has NOTHING to do with the primary election.
This is how fascist ballot access censorship is intended to work – suppress all alternatives to the autocracy even rogue fascists.
There is another primary election in Maine in June, so the RFK Jr. petition circulators will get another crack at working polling places.
Does Maine require you to be a registered voter to, say, serve in the Maine Legislature?
