I don’t know this bill specifically, but bills have a lot of weird unrelated shit tacked onto them. Sometimes that stuff is state-specific stuff. There have been lots of cases where senators have opposed a bill but changed their tune after something specifically for their state was added. They can then brag about these wins during primaries.
Maine residents are, as a whole, very nice people. Certainly a lot friendlier as a population than many other states I’ve spent time in. Calling them hateful and racist based purely on (by your own admission) their voting records is like saying the majority of US residents are MAGA because Trump got elected.
What does someone in Maine get out of this? Maybe Collins is getting shit for it but the average person is getting fucked.

Maybe we’re looking for nuance where there isn’t any, and the majority of Maine residents are just hateful and racist.
I’d be surprised if there aren’t candidates more hateful and racist on the primary ballot.

Neat. I live in a Midwestern state, and people here are so nice and friendly there’s an expression about it.
We’re also obviously hateful and racist though, because we keep voting for Trump and sending hateful, racist Republicans to Congress.
And?
You aren’t even from here australian lol, just shut up and listen like you’re supposed to
Well, if you’re a fascist…
I don’t know, but Asheville NC got the Blue Ridge Parkway because their representative was the last vote needed for Social Security.
