On the ballot in Maine, Nov 3

Statewide measures, from Ballotpedia. Toss-up Daily shows what people say about them, not how they will vote.

How this works

Each morning OliveWing reads the newest public posts in each state's own communities: local subreddits, local news comment sections and residents' own posts. Posts are grouped by what they say, and topics are counted by the number of people raising them. Every update is reviewed before it is published.

This is not a poll. It shows what people are talking about on their own, not how a state will vote. People who post are not a sample of voters.
