A Forum on Election Security was held Friday, May 15, at 4 p.m. at the First Congregational Church of Blue Hill. This event was organized by the bipartisan Blue Hill Constitution Committee and sponsored by WERU Community Radio.

To discuss questions surrounding elections – voter ID, hacking voting equipment, and intimidation at the polls — panelists with first-hand knowledge of Maine elections were invited. Your vote counts and our elections matter immensely, so we also invite you to join us. Confirmed participants are Shenna Bellows, Maine’s Secretary of State; Cindy Reilly, former 32-year Sedgwick Town Clerk; Holly Idelson, Policy Strategist with Protect Democracy, and former Senior Counsel for the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee; and Ann Luther, League of Women Voters and host of Democracy Forum on WERU was our moderator. WERU extends special thanks to the Blue Hill Constitution Committee for all their work planning and coordinating this informative community event!
