The Latest: Democrat flips U.S. House seat in Maine The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — The Latest on the U.S. House race in Maine A Democrat who finished behind Republican Rep. Bruce Poliquin in the first round of balloting has come from behind to flip the seat in the second of its two U.S. House races. The outcome was a dramatic reversal in a four-way race. Poliquin received the most first-place votes on Election Day but additional tallies were required because no one won a majority. The ranked-choice voting system lets voters rank candidates from first to last on the ballot. It provides for eliminations of last-place candidates and reallocations of votes. 10:50 a.m. Republican U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin is challenging the constitutionality of Maine's ranked-choice voting system used for the first time in congressional races in Maine. Final tabulations are expected around Thursday afternoon in the race between Poliquin and Democrat Jared Golden. Poliquin, who had an edge in first-round votes, said he has a duty to challenge the new voting system on constitutional grounds. Voters approved it in 2016. The secretary of state declined a request by Republican U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin to stop the election process without a court order. Final tabulations and an announcement of the winner are expected around noon Thursday. A federal judge, meanwhile, said he aims to weigh in Thursday on Poliquin's lawsuit seeking to overturn Maine's new voting system. Poliquin is in a tight race with Democrat Jared Golden.

We all know the northeastern states vote for the Liberals for their free handouts, free healthcare, free college educations, higher taxes, free cell phones, etc etc ... Another thread of no value except to keep you entertained. |

quote: Funny .... always thought there was one and only one "round" of balloting .... I guess when you don't have the Russians to blame, you, as Dems just keep having round upon round of fake voter upon fake voter submit ballots UNTIL the democrat overtakes the otherwise lawfully elected individual .... There's a huge storm coming and the democrats really will be il-equipped to handle it ... |
