Wednesday Call & Topics

Matt Gagnon criticized Shena Bellows for her stance on voter data, arguing that her claim of protecting voter privacy is misleading. He highlighted that voter data is publicly accessible and that the Department of Justice has the authority to request it under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. Gagnon also pointed out Bellows’ selective reading of the Constitution, noting that while states control election administration, Congress can regulate federal elections. He suggested Bellows’ actions are a political stunt and that she is unlikely to succeed in her resistance. The conversation also touched on the political landscape in Maine, with Gagnon and a caller discussing the potential impact of different candidates on state policies.
