More Mainers voted on referendums than presidential race, Brewer tells AP
In an interview with the Associated Press, University of Maine Political Science Professor Mark Brewer said public dissatisfaction with the candidates for president led more Maine voters to cast ballots on referendum questions than on the race at the top of the ticket. “A lot of people looked at the presidential choices and said, ‘Yuck!’ They didn’t stay home. They came out. They just didn’t vote top of the ticket,” Brewer told the AP.
