EXCERPT:
During the lightning round of Tuesday’s Maine U.S. Senate debate between Republican incumbent Susan Collins and Democratic Party challenger Troy Jackson, moderator Gregg Lagerquist asked whether voters should be required to show identification at the polls. The two candidates gave wildly different answers on the topic, producing a debate moment that was widely circulated on social media.
Jackson responded to the question by announcing his unequivocal opposition to any forms of voter ID. “No, as a working logger, many times I went to the polls without my ID. No,” Jackson responded.
Collins’ answer was almost the exact opposite of her opponent’s. “Yes, only Americans should vote in American elections. I don’t think that’s too much to ask when you go to register to vote,” the senator said.
