Dear John,

Did you see the news?  The Ranked Choice Voting agitators are at it again.

Just as it is clear we are close to having the signatures needed to stop Ranked Choice Voting for this year’s Presidential Election, out-of-state funded political operations have rushed to the Maine courts to try and stop us.

Their lawsuit is without merit. These issues were already addressed by the Maine Secretary of State when the People’s Veto Effort was authorized to move forward.

But, it tells us one thing.

They are very scared.  Tens of thousands of Democrats, Republicans, and Independent voters have already signed petitions to repeal provisions of ranked choice voting.  As voters they do not want their voices silenced.  The Ranked Choice Voting out-of-state funded operatives know we are fighting back.  We will not allow out-of-state liberal billionaires and special interests to upend Maine’s long tradition of how we vote for President of the United States.

The RCV lawsuit tries to confuse the courts and the public on the timing of our effort.  However, the Secretary of State’s office informed us officially in September 2019 that the application to begin the veto could not begin until after January of 2020.  In doing so the Secretary of State’s office specifically noted the Attorney General’s Official Opinion No. 79-170, which has long guided the timing of Legislation and legal deadlines in Maine.

What’s even more interesting is that when Janet Mills allowed RCV to be applied to the Presidential Election this year, the Associated Press and other Maine media outlets noted that due to the timing of her actions RCV would only apply to the November Presidential Election and not Maine’s Presidential Primary.  It was seen as a "having her cake and eating it too" move on Mills' timing to protect party insiders connected to the Primary.

Now with this new liberal lawsuit push they could inadvertently nullify that very Presidential Primary.  Their lawsuit would require that Primary vote to be held under Ranked Choice Voting as well.

As the Forecaster newspaper accurately reported when ranked choice voting was first brought to Maine: "the RCV campaign in Maine has been partly bankrolled by John Arnold, a former Enron executive and billionaire hedge fund manager from Texas."

In reality Texas Citizen John Arnold had used his vast fortune, made from Enron and hedge funds, to provide most of the money to thrust RCV on Maine.  Tens of thousands of additional dollars were also funneled in from other out-of-state bankrolled liberal entities to push it. It was never about Maine voices.

We are going to continue fighting back to restore our Presidential vote.

Right now we are still gathering the final signatures we need – adding to the tens of thousands we already have – to stop Ranked Choice Voting from ruining Maine’s one person equals one vote 2020 Presidential election.

Maine citizens are taking our voice back.  And, we are not going to give up or be deterred by false lawsuits seeking to silence Maine voices.

We will continue gathering signatures to help stop Ranked Choice Voting in this year’s Presidential election, with your help.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Doctor Demi Kouzounas

P.S.  The lawsuit filed by the Ranked Choice Voting consortium of liberals will not deter us.  It only propels us to work harder. Help us complete the task.  Please donate here, today.
