There's always going to be a small percentage of people who don't apply the correct postage...I hope the percentage in Maine is VERY small.

The rest of what you mention--same-day registration and voting, on-site absentee early voting, sounds great! Wouldn't it be wonderful if all states did this!

Thanks for your progressive vote!
