There are already fliers going around giving students false information about their right to vote here\u2014the Governor should be calling out these lies rather than bolstering them.\n\u201cIn Maine, we\u2019ve always been proud to have some of the highest voter participation rates in the country. \u00a0And students\u2014whether they are from Maine or are residents while they attend school\u2014have been a big part of that.
