Ep 152 - Janet Beaudoin on Mastering Absentee Voting to Win Maine Races


Listen Later

Janet Beaudoin lost Maine HD94 special by just 69 votes (503–572), winning Election Day but crushed on absentees (155–246). In this raw debrief, she lays out her no-excuses strategy to fix the Republican turnout gap:

  • QR codes on everything linking straight to absentee requests—scan and submit on the spot.
  • Call it “early voting” to sidestep resistance.
  • Make personal asks during doors: “Request your ballot right now.”
  • Push supporters to become notaries (help collect/return up to 5 ballots legally).
  • Target busy conservatives—make voting easy so life doesn’t get in the way.
  • Mindset shift: Use the current system to win, then reform absentee rules once in control.

With November 2026 looming (governor, House/Senate, Lewiston locals), this is how Republicans turn close losses into wins. Every vote counts—especially the ones mailed in.
