Mass. Judge Pauses USPS Mail-Voting Rule
Across Maine, Nevada, Oregon, and Colorado, election officials say mail-in voting will proceed as planned despite a Supreme Court ruling that allowed aspects of President Trump's executive order on mail ballots to move forward, though ongoing legal challenges and potential rulemaking remain unresolved. They stress that elections will be conducted under existing state laws and procedures while monitoring changes that could affect ballot delivery and administration.

Overview

Maine is a state in the New England region of the United States, and the northeasternmost state in the contiguous United States. It borders New Hampshire to the west, the Gulf of Maine to the southeast, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the northeast and northwest, and shares a maritime border with Nova Scotia. It is the only state to border only one other state. Maine is the largest state in New England by total area, almost as large as the combined area of the remaining five states. Of the 50 U.S. states, it is the 12th-smallest by area, the 9th-least populous, the 13th-least densely populated, and the most rural. As of 2024, Maine's population stood at a Census-estimated 1,400,000, the state's highest-ever population estimate. Maine's capital is Augusta, while its most populous city is Portland.

Notable quotes

— Peter S. Beagle, on the dedication page of The Last Unicorn (1968)
“I will not listen to childcare lectures from a man who put his daughter in a box and shipped her to Maine.”
— Jane Espenson, in lines written for Regina (the Evil Queen) to David Nolan (Prince Charming), in the "We Are Both" episode of Once Upon a Time (7 October 2012)
“I felt like I'd been misplaced in the cosmos and I belonged in Maine.”
— Terry Goodkind, as quoted in Moving to Maine : The Essential Guide to Get You There and What You Need to Know to Stay (2007) by Vicki Doudera, p. 13
“When people asked me in a RV park, "What do you do?" I just said, "I'm a retired state employee from Maine."”
— Angus King, on his job description to strangers, as a former Governor, in "Bowdoin Lecturer is King of the Road in 'Governor's Travels'" in Academic Spotlight (2 August 2011)
“The Southwest was spectacular, but I have no interest in moving there. North Carolina is beautiful in spring and fall. But I can say I didn't find anyplace I'd rather live than Maine.”
— Angus King, in "Bowdoin Lecturer is King of the Road in 'Governor's Travels'" in Academic Spotlight (2 August 2011)
“I looked along the San Juan Islands and the coast of California, but I couldn't find the palette of green, granite, and dark blue that you can only find in Maine.”
