In regard to George Lawson’s letter published on Jan. 5: I believe that responsible journalism should weigh the credibility of information before publishing it. When a team of lawyers working for months cannot convince any judicial authority that there has been enough done “wrong” during the election to merit overturning the results – including judges […]
letter to the editor
Letter to the editor: National popular vote would take small states off presidential map
Candidates would focus only on the battlegrounds, disenfranchising millions of people nationwide.
Letter to the editor: One voter, one vote a more equitable way to elect a leader
So we are probably all getting tired of the Electoral College, but did you know that each state’s voters actually have a different amount of voter power? Yeah, one more way that our system is not truly democratic. Voters in Wyoming have the most weight to their vote, almost three times the weight of California’s […]
Letter to the editor: Train capable laypeople to give COVID-19 shots
I believe it makes sense for interested laypeople like myself to be trained to give the coronavirus vaccine. I am not afraid to give shots (I have dogs), and I want to help. I don’t want to be licensed or take jobs from anyone in the future or now. I understand there are probably state […]
Letter to the editor: Questions of election integrity need full scrutiny
The 2020 election raised questions about vote gathering, deliveries, machines, polling place management, absentee and mail-in ballots, tally stoppages, voter registrations and identification, multiple votes, etc. Tallies for Donald Trump suddenly decreased by the number that Joe Biden’s increased in certain states.

But Donald Trump lost the election for president in 2020. Joe Biden won. Fair and square. Anyone […]
Letter to the editor: SAD 6 brushes off needs of virtual program
We had to do virtual school with our son in third grade while our son in sixth grade attends hybrid middle school. While middle school is going fine, elementary school is not. From the day school started, which was one week later than hybrid students at the same school, the district has been failing our […]
Letter to the editor: Maine Legislature has full agenda without state flag bill
COVID-19, the opioid epidemic, vaccination allocation and food insecurity, to name a few issues, should be keeping our elected officials busy this session.
Letter to the editor: Pardons indicate warped set of priorities
Re: pardons: While 2 million sad souls rot in our jails and prisons, one in five of them for committing nonviolent drug offenses, our thuggish president puts convicted killers, corrupt politicians and other dangerous predators back on our streets. Shame and disgust come to mind. Michael Petit Portland
Letter to the editor: Is Missouri senator the next Trump?
Josh Hawley’s decision to contest Joe Biden’s Electoral College win demonstrates disregard for the Constitution.
