@mainecharacterdirigo: Speaking Somali is not voter fraud. Using an interpreter is not illegal. And being an immigrant does not mean someone isn't an American citizen. From Trump's inflammatory statements about Somali communities to the allegations being circulated in Maine, we need to recognize the harm that misinformation and suspicion can cause. Somali Mainers have spent decades building businesses, creating jobs, raising families, and strengthening our communities. They deserve the same dignity, respect, and voting rights as every other American. A special thank you to @safiyaspeaks for continuing to speak up and refusing to be intimidated. I'm sorry you and your community have to deal with this kind of hostility simply for exercising your rights and making your voices heard. Investigate actual voter fraud. Protect eligible voters. Stop treating ethnicity and language as evidence of wrongdoing. #democracy #MainePolitics #LewistonMaine #SomaliAmericans #VotingRights
