Update from our county chair:

At this point, a two-step process has been developed. In the first step at some point in the next week or so County Committees may meet and select delegates to a state convention to be held at a place still to be determined around July 25th. Sagadahoc Democrats would select approximately 16 delegates, plus alternates and to the best of our ability reflect diversity, equity, and inclusion in our selection process. If you are interested in being considered as a delegate in this process, please email your interest to (email). Indicating your interest does not mean you will be chosen as one of the delegates: the DSC is still working on the most equitable delegate selection process and we will inform you as soon as details become available.

We'll see what the process is...

Warning!

Things are going to be bad this midterm election. The Trump administration has fired the remaining commissioners of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), leaving the independent bipartisan agency without any sitting commissioners. The EAC doesn’t run elections, but it plays an important role by certifying voting systems, accrediting voting equipment testing laboratories, distributing certain federal election funds, and providing guidance to help states administer elections. Removing every commissioner from an independent election oversight agency raises serious questions about the future of election administration and the independence of institutions designed to support free and fair elections.

Listening to CNBC this morning and they had the CEO of Delta Airlines on and they were discussing bookings, costs, and inflation, and he sort of tipped his hand giving me a moment of panic for the 2028 election and 2032 as well.

He made a comment that airfares, despite the high prices, are 5 to 15% lower from the margins the airlines were used to. So if fuel prices return to pre-war levels, fares will be unlikely to drop.

Here's where my moment kicked in: are we headed to a 2029 where Dems win, but all these corporations across all industries decide that they need to "correct" their balance sheets after a half decade of Dump's shitty policies, jack up prices, and cause a 2022 inflation bubble (or bigger), blame it all on Dems, and return to solid GOP rule in 2033?

Not to mention all the cuts to Medicare and hospitals and such in Donnie's big beautiful bill kick in.

Don't Airlines prebuy fuel ? They buy futures but not sure how far out they go?

Bold of you to assume there will still be meaningful elections...

We are up to eight declared candidates for the US Senate seat. Some candidates might face difficulty with the requirements to get on the ballot. It was 200 signatures, then 250 and now 500 signatures from eight different counties. I just heard back from the secretary of our county committee: There are "well north" of 50 interested people for our 16 delegates. Still no word on how we will be selected.

The process to register and to become a delegate to the special convention has been announced. We need to pre-register on the Maine Democratic Party website and include a short statement on why we should be chosen. It's the same process for choosing delegates to the Democratic National Convention and members of the DNC. The party will make those statements available to the voters at the meeting. Pre-registration will end on 16 July, but people who attend the county meeting (at a location and on a date TBD) can register. People who were registered Democrats in their county as of 9 June are eligible to be delegates or to attend the meeting to vote for delegates. The delegates will be chosen by the voters who attend those meetings.

The convention will convene at the Cross Center in Bangor at 9AM on 25 July. Candidates will give speeches then the delegates will vote. If a candidate achieves a majority on the first ballot, we all go home. If not, the top five vote winners advance and we vote again. And so on until someone gets a majority.
