The referendum, which sought to limit trans students' access to school sports teams, bathrooms, and locker rooms, fell about 500 signatures short of the legal threshold.

    Maine invalidates anti-trans ballot question due to improper signature gathering

    Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows invalidated a ballot initiative restricting transgender students' access to school facilities and sports due to improper signature collection by out-of-state petition circulators. The 'Protect Girls Sports' campaign failed to meet legal requirements, with over 12,000 signatures invalidated after a hearing revealed violations, including unattended petition forms.
