WASHINGTON - The RNC and Maine GOP immediately responded to reports of non-citizens interfering in Maine's elections. We are demanding answers from Democrat Secretary of State Shenna Bellows and removal of non-citizens from the voter rolls.

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley stated: “Democrats continue to allow non-citizens on the voter rolls, repeatedly violating the law and relentlessly interfering in our country’s most important election. We are demanding answers and proof that Maine's election is secure, and are committed to ensuring only Americans decide American elections.”

Background:   

• A recent article claims that non-citizens have voted in past Maine elections and are able to do so again this year.
• State law only permits United States citizens to cast a vote in any election. If proven true, these violations compromise Maine’s registration and voting processes, and election integrity in the state.
• This is just the latest effort by the RNC to stop non-citizen voting, which threatens to jeopardize our elections. We successfully stopped non-citizen voting in New York City; sued Burlington, Vermont for allowing non-citizens to vote and influence statewide issues; sued Nevada for allowing non-citizens to remain on the rolls and potentially vote this election; and won a major victory in the Supreme Court to stop non-citizen voting in Arizona.
