Maine Finds No Evidence of 2024 Voter Fraud

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows announced that her office found no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2024 election following GOP claims. The Maine Republican Party had alleged that 51 individuals voted twice and that over 600 voters held multiple registrations, but the investigation determined none of the 51 had committed dual voting. Most flagged cases were due to administrative errors, such as duplicate entries or misassigned records, and some involved different individuals with similar names. Bellows criticized the GOP for not consulting her office before publicizing the allegations and reaffirmed the integrity of Maine's elections. She emphasized that voter list maintenance is routine and ongoing. The GOP stated their intent was to prompt corrections in the voter rolls.
