Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson cast his absentee ballot and urged voters to turn out, saying strong participation would help determine his race against Republican Sen. Susan Collins. Jackson said he understood voters’ frustration but argued that voting was the way to bring change for working-class people. He also criticized the millions spent on increasingly negative campaign advertising, while Collins said some attacks had become personal and called for one ad to be removed.

In Washington, ballots are being sent out, and voters are urged to return mail ballots early because processing delays have led to late-postmark rejections.

Indiana Files First Charges Over Alleged Noncitizen Voting

Indiana prosecutors have charged Francisco Aguilar Romero, who has DACA status, with voter-registration fraud, perjury and illegal voting, alleging he cast ballots in six Vigo County elections from 2018 to 2024; state officials call it Indiana’s first prosecution of a noncitizen for illegal voting. Romero told investigators he informed Bureau of Motor Vehicles staff that he was not a U.S. citizen and did not know the citizenship box had been checked, while citizenship documents were not required to register at the time.
