Events Coming Up

We face uncertain times but one thing will never change: elections must go on. Even during a crisis. Your weekly updates on how COVID-19 is impacting Maine politics and elections.

**Originally this week's webinar was going to cover the Voting Rights Advancement Act, or HR4. We're swtiching it up, keeping it exciting, and instead sticking with last's weeks theme of money in politics. If you have already registered for this webinar, the join links will remain the same.** 

Offering an introduction to online research tools available to the public, we'll discuss how corporate interests shape our lives. We'll also touch on candidates, political committees, issue committees, party committees, lobbyists -- the whole gambit. Get your toolbox ready, because we're going to fill it with everything you'll need for upcoming elections!

We face uncertain times but one thing will never change: elections must go on. Even during a crisis. Your weekly updates on how COVID-19 is impacting Maine politics and elections.

This week we'll dive into the Voting Rights Advancement Act, or HR 4. HR 4 strengthens the famous Voting Rights Act of 1965 that was significantly weakened by the Supreme Court’s ruling in Shelby County v. Holder. This bill would require states with a history of voting rights violations to preclear any changes to voting that could have a discriminatory impact. This bill was passed by the house in December 2019, but it has not been approved by the Senate.
