Conservative Maine PAC that spent big in 2022 election now launching voter ID initiative

A Maine-based, conservative political action committee that has raised nearly three-quarters of a million dollars in the past three years launched a new effort to require voter identification.

Last month, The Dinner Table PAC launched Voter ID for ME, a citizen-led ballot initiative that seeks to require voters to show identification at the polls. The organization needs to gather 67,682 signatures from registered Maine voters to get its question on the November ballot, based on the state’s requirement of having 10% of the total votes cast in the most recent gubernatorial election.

Founder Alex Titcomb said the committee is waiting for the Department of the Secretary of State to finalize the actual petition but expects to start collecting signatures in June. However, the group is already asking people who are interested to sign up as volunteers.

The Voter ID for ME website shows a fundraising goal of $100,000 with just over $4,500 raised, as of Tuesday.
