Formal Petition and Request for Federal Review

Governor-Elect Hannah Pingree with Somali Voting Interpreter one week before early voting in Maine, 2026.
We, the undersigned citizens and residents of the state of Maine, respectfully petition the United States Department of Justice to initiate an independent review of Maine’s voter registration database, voter eligibility verification procedures, voter-roll maintenance practices, and applicable election administration safeguards.

We are requesting federal oversight to establish whether Maine’s voter registration records are being maintained accurately, whether legally ineligible registrations are being properly identified and addressed, and whether the state’s procedures comply with applicable federal election laws.

This request is made in the interest of election transparency, lawful voter registration, equal protection of eligible voters, and public confidence in our democratic institutions.

Why is this important?

Election integrity is not a partisan issue. It is a fundamental responsibility of government.

Every eligible citizen must be able to exercise their right to vote without unnecessary barriers or improper interference. We all saw ON VIDEO what happened in Lewiston, Maine, with blatant electioneering happening at the polls. 

Equally, voter registration systems must be accurate, properly maintained, and administered in accordance with the law. Where is Secretary of State Shenna Bellows? She can't be trusted to investigate herself.

The public should not be expected to accept assurances without the ability to understand the procedures, examine the safeguards, and review independently verified findings.

We are not presenting unverified allegations as established facts. We are formally requesting an independent examination to determine whether the applicable laws and safeguards are being followed, particularly when it comes to the Uniformed and Overseas votes. 

Our objective is not to disenfranchise eligible voters, challenge lawful participation, or advance the interests of any political party or candidate.

Our objective is to ensure that the system protecting every American’s right to vote is administered lawfully, consistently, and transparently.
