**Illegal Polling Location Manipulation by Portland City Officials
Stopped by Emergency Court Order**

Superior Court puts an end to City Officials' Attempts to Silence the
Voices of Their Own Residents

PORTLAND, MAINE - The Cumberland County Superior Court has issued a
temporary restraining order against City of Portland officials who
attempted to silence their own voters.

Officials within the City of Portland attempted to restrict the ability
for their own citizens within the city to sign legal petitions at their
polling locations, issued under the authority of the Maine Secretary of
State, which would allow a referendum on the Maine ballot overturning
provisions of Ranked Choice Voting.

In the last few hours an order was granted by the Cumberland County
Superior Court ordering Portland City Officials to cease their signature
blocking attempts and allow signatures to be gathered at the polls.

Despite a long history in Maine of allowing groups to collect signatures
at the polls for ballot referendums, Portland City officials attempted
to deny this same right to Maine citizens who are working to restore one
man, one vote voting in Maine; a ballot system which produced Senators
like Olympia Snowe, and Margaret Chase Smith, decades of successful
Governors, and winning United States Presidents of both political
parties.

A rush is on to fill as many petition tables as possible to allow City
residents to exercise their right to sign.

out-of-state funded Ranked Choice Voting system thrust upon Maine can
