Ep. 152 House 94 Post Election Rundown with Janet Beaudoin

In this post-election breakdown, Janet Beaudoin shares the exact lessons from her razor-close loss in Maine House District 94’s February 24, 2026 special (Lewiston): 503 votes to Democrat Scott Harriman’s 572—a 69-vote margin decided entirely by absentee ballots.Janet won Election Day in-person voting (348–326), but Harriman dominated absentees (246–155). With only ~300 of ~2,200 Republicans showing up and turnout at just 19%, she explains why Republicans must master absentee/early voting NOW to flip tight races. Key strategy highlights from Janet: Use QR codes everywhere (flyers, signs, social, doors) linking directly to Maine’s official absentee request page—make requesting instant and effortless. Frame as “early voting” instead of “absentee” to overcome conservative resistance—call it “vote early” or “get your ballot now.” Personal, immediate asks during door-knocking/conversations: Hand over the QR code and say, “Scan and request right now while I’m here.” Target busy Republicans (business owners, parents) who miss Election Day—eliminate excuses like work, travel, or forgetting. Recruit notaries aggressively—notaries can legally help request, collect, and return up to 5 ballots at a time to reliably “bank” low-propensity votes. Shift mindset: Stop relying on Election Day only. Make absentee the default turnout tool—Democrats already win with it; Republicans must use every legal advantage under current rules, then reform later (limit to true need: illness, military, etc.). This isn’t theory—it’s Janet’s battle-tested plan for November 2026, when the full general rematch hits Lewiston (plus governor, legislature, locals). One more reliable absentee per precinct flips seats.
