Ahead of a "March Against Mills" on Saturday, an online petition to recall the governor of Maine has received over 22,000 signatures.
Janet Mills and President Donald Trump got into a heated debate last week after the two clashed about Trump's executive order that aims to keep transgender athletes out of girls' and women's sports.
Last week, Trump told her at the White House that she must follow his executive order, or "you're not going to get any federal funding," to which she replied, "We’ll see you in court."
"I'm complying with state and federal laws," Mills said, before Trump said, "Well, we are the federal law," and "you better do it, you better do it, because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't.
Trump later issued a Title IX investigation against the state, along with California and Minnesota.
Melissa Moulton is listed as the "petition starter" on change.org. She is also the "host" of the "March Against Mills" event on Facebook.
"I am standing among many Maine citizens who are deeply dissatisfied with the policies introduced by our Governor, Janet Mills. I believe strongly that her policies are not in alignment with the wishes and values of the majority of Mainers," Moulton wrote. "The feeling of disconnect between the populace and leadership is palpable and widespread. Various statistics underline rural-urban divide that has been exacerbated by the Governor's decisions. Additionally, several of her policies contradict the economic growth and prosperity that should be our government's priority. I am yet another citizen calling for change and improvement for our beloved state of Maine. It is imperative that we hold our elected officials accountable. I implore you to sign this petition to voice our collective dissent and to initiate the recall of Governor Janet Mills.

Uggh, long way to gop,then- thanks for crunching the numbers- I never wax good at math. I think they only have a certain number of days to get them too if I recall?
The 100k requirement is a tall order—particularly since the Republican parts of Maine are more exurban and rural and harder to canvass.
i don’t know how old this is- maybe it’s changed?
RECALL
§ 1301. Recall; grounds for recall
This a proposed bill that died in committee in 2017. It comes up in Google searches on recall because you are one of 1,000s that have clicked on it thinking it was the holy grail. I have had to correct two people in Maine who cited this. Google does not know better.
22,000 signatures
Isn’t that close to the population of Maine? ;-D
No, the population of Maine is 1.4 million.
I will repeat here again. THERE IS NO RECALL PROVSION IN MAINE.
This symbolic.
Thanks for clarifying that.
I guess my math was wasted.
:-)
I didn’t click,on it thinking it was the holy grail, i didn’t know if it was in effect or not. But thank you for pointing out that there is no recall in Maine. Sadly the state is stuck with a gov who has violated her oath by protecting a minority group to,the exclusion and danger of the majority.
They probably didn't.
You can pretty much assume any town that has a RAT election clerk will steal every election. Once that pattern has been established, it's pretty hard to eradicate.The Maine legislature has been RAT majority since about 1974.(with brief exceptions including LePage)
They will vote every dead person, and every registered voter that doesn't show up, will be voted RAT.
They vote as a bloc to oppose any election reform legislation. Why, because then they won't be able to cheat.
Trannies? I'm convince every RAT is a pervert or has someone close to them who is. Why else would they party-line vote to oppose each and every "sex-offender reform" bill?
