Maine voters resoundingly defeated a ballot initiative on Tuesday that would have required them to show a photo ID during future elections and that sought to rollback aspects of the state’s absentee voting process.
The Associated Press called the race less than two hours after polls closed as early returns showed strong opposition to Question 1 in more left-leaning coastal areas but also in pockets of rural Maine. That voting gap widened as results trickled in. And by midnight, Question 1 was failing 36.1% to 63.9% with roughly three-quarters of votes counted, according to the AP.
Alex Titcomb*, campaign manager for the Voter ID for ME campaign, said he was disappointed in the outcome but not giving up.
* Heh, heh, he said "tit". He's a conservative activist.
