Voter-roll showdown: Federal judges in Maine and Wisconsin tossed DOJ lawsuits trying to force states to hand over detailed voter registration data, dealing another blow to Trump’s push for a national voter database and boosting voter-privacy arguments. Maine politics: Democrats are trying to keep distance from scandal-plagued Senate candidate Graham Platner as scrutiny over his past online remarks grows, while Maine’s governor’s race heats up with candidates lining up for the June primary. Cost-of-living pressure: Maine’s groundfishing industry is getting a lifeline from “Fishermen Feeding Mainers,” which buys local catch and donates fillets to schools and food banks. Local governance: Waterville is moving toward rules for how city employees should handle federal immigration requests after a new state law took effect. Community & culture: Memorial Day observances are underway across Maine, and Rockland is holding public talks on the future of cruise tourism.
