Maine: Claims of online signatures against Governor, but state doesn't have a state-level provision

A change.org petition is claiming almost 28,000 signatures against Maine Governor Janet Mills (D) though obviously none of them are worth anything, as the online petitions do not count for recall or other direct democracy efforts (additionally, it is quite likely that many of the signers do not live in Maine).

As the article notes, Maine does not actually have a state-level recall law, so there is no possibility that Mills will be removed in a recall or that this will move forward.

The complaint is over women and transathletes issue. Mills recently got into a verbal scuffle with Trump, so that may be a part of this.
