We’re so excited! It’s here!
The League of Women Voters of Maine Education Fund has released its ninth Easy-to-Read Voter Guide for the 2016 election.
This year’s guide covers the presidential race, both federal races for the U.S. House of Representatives, Districts 1 and 2, five statewide citizen initiative questions, and one statewide bond issue that will be decided by voters on November 8th.
As always, the guide is nonpartisan and does not endorse any candidate or party or promote any platform or position on the ballot questions.
As we have for the past eight years, we will distribute free paper copies of the guide to citizens throughout Maine. This year, we printed and are distributing 50,000 copies to libraries, adult education centers, social service agencies, colleges, and high schools across the State.
A PDF of the guide is also available to download from the LWVME website, www.lwvme.org. Information about candidates and ballot questions will also be online at Vote411.org.
Paper copies can be requested by emailing voterguide@lwvme.org or calling 207-622-0256 Ext 2. 
Please share with family and friends so we’re all ready to vote on Election Day!

I think there is bias in the statement that, regarding question Ballot question 6 regarding infrastructure, in the “YES” argument – jobs may be provided “now,” constructions WILL improve safety – and throwing in the tourism bit… all seems biased, with little argument against. I expect the League to present more than superficial or weighted arguments.
