AUGUSTA, Maine (AP)   A push to change Maine’s constitution to require citizen referendum campaigns to gather signatures from both congressional districts is dead.

Republicans and some Democrats have argued over the last year that lawmakers are spending too much time fixing citizen-initiated referendums that too easily get on the ballot. Some organizers of ballot campaigns have argued that voters are just fed up with stalemate in Augusta and that Maine already makes it hard enough for citizens leading ballot campaigns.

The House voted 93-50 Tuesday in support of the change, but the bill lacked the needed two-thirds majority to go to voters.

Several bills to reform Maine’s referendum process have failed since 2016.

Lawmakers are also considering a bill to require ballot question committees to disclose big contributors and their sources of money.
