Get people to the polls who would normally stay home for midterms. Also a nice wedge issue that would force candidates to take a position. And because it is an emotional issue that sells eyeballs, the Media will make it 50% of their campaign coverage.

ME-02 is probably gone with Golden out and with this on the ballot, it definitely is. Might even save Collins.

Good strategy for Republicans.
