Maine Democrats have been fighting tooth and nail against voter ID requirements.
They insisted voter fraud was just a conservative fantasy.
But one woman found 250 ballots in her Amazon box that blew the lid off Maine’s election nightmare.
Democrats scramble as mystery ballots surface in Maine
Picture this scenario.
A woman in Newburgh, Maine orders something from Amazon and gets her package delivered like millions of other Americans do every day.
But when she opens her battered, tape-covered Amazon box on September 30th, she doesn’t just find her order – she finds 250 official ballots for an upcoming election.¹
The timing couldn’t be worse for Maine Democrats.
Those ballots were for the very election where Mainers will vote on Question One – a ballot measure requiring photo ID to vote.
Democrats are frantically opposing this common-sense reform because they know exactly what it would mean for their election strategy.
Maine Democrat Party Chairman Charlie Dingman sent out a text message to supporters in May admitting that if the voter ID law passes, Democrats could lose about 13,000 votes in Maine’s elections.²
Give him credit for accidentally telling the truth – Democrats openly oppose voter integrity because honest elections make it harder for them to win.
Maine’s top election official has a credibility problem
The woman supposedly protecting Maine’s elections is Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a former ACLU staffer and career left-wing activist.
Bellows tried to kick President Trump off the ballot in 2024 and has repeatedly claimed voter fraud doesn’t exist in Maine.
But here’s where it gets interesting – Bellows admits some noncitizens might be registered to vote while simultaneously announcing she’s running for governor next year.³
So the person overseeing Maine’s elections is also a candidate in those same elections.
What could possibly go wrong?
Bellows has been combative with federal authorities trying to ensure election integrity, showing her resistance to transparency and accountability.
Now Bellows claims she’s investigating the missing ballots with help from the FBI and other agencies, but don’t hold your breath for real answers.
Look, here’s what Democrats don’t want you to know
The 250 ballots showing up in an Amazon box isn’t some isolated incident – it’s part of a much bigger pattern Democrats desperately want to hide.
The same day that woman in Newburgh found the ballots, the town of Ellsworth – 40 miles away – reported 250 ballots missing from their official shipment.⁴
Amazon says their investigation shows the package was tampered with outside their delivery network, meaning someone deliberately put those ballots in that box.⁵
But this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to election integrity problems across the country.
In 2018, the North Carolina state election board ordered a complete do-over of a congressional election because of rampant fraud.⁶
The Department of Homeland Security recently arrested an illegal alien in Iowa who was registered to vote in Maryland.⁷
Just last month, the Department of Justice charged two men in Pennsylvania with voter fraud.⁸
The examples keep piling up, but Democrats keep pretending none of it matters because they know voter ID laws would devastate their operation.
Here’s the thing that should make you furious – four out of five Americans support requiring ID to vote, according to Gallup.⁹
This isn’t some radical Republican idea.
Democrats have managed to virtue-signal themselves onto the wrong side of an 80-20 issue because they’re more interested in protecting their ability to manipulate elections than they are in protecting democracy.
You need an ID to board an airplane, buy beer, or purchase Sudafed at the pharmacy.
But Democrats think "our democracy" requires less security than buying cold medicine.
The stakes couldn’t be higher for America
Maine isn’t just any state – it’s a purple battleground that could tip the balance in the Electoral College.
The state splits its electoral votes between the rural, conservative north and the deep-blue Portland area.
In a narrowly divided country, Maine’s electoral votes could decide presidential elections and control of Congress.
That’s why Democrats are fighting so hard to keep their election manipulation machine running.
If Question One passes in November, missing ballots like the ones found in that Amazon box wouldn’t be a problem anymore.
Voters would need to submit a copy of their photo ID when requesting an absentee ballot – a simple step that would eliminate most fraud opportunities.
But without voter ID laws, mystery ballot deliveries could lead to massive fraud in a state that might determine America’s future.
The woman in Newburgh accidentally exposed what Democrats have been trying to hide for years – our elections aren’t nearly as secure as they claim.
Democrats want Americans to trust elections unquestioningly while refusing to take basic steps to earn that trust.
Voters in Maine have a chance to fix this mess in November by passing Question One and requiring photo ID to vote.
Real democracy requires trustworthy elections, and trustworthy elections require knowing who’s actually casting the ballots.
