Outgoing Republican Maine Gov. Paul LePage took a swipe on Friday at a Democratic candidate’s victory in a controversial House race, writing “stolen election” next to his signature on the certificate confirming the election result.

LePage certified the victory of Democratic Rep.-elect Jared Golden after Rep. Bruce Poliquin, a two-term Republican congressman, conceded to his opponent on Christmas Eve following a contentious legal challenge.

“I’ve signed off on the [Maine's 2nd congressional district] election result as it’s no longer in federal court,” LePage wrote in a tweet, attaching of the certificate with the phrase “stolen election” next to his signature.

“Ranked Choice Voting didn’t result in a true majority as promised-simply a plurality measured differently. It didn’t keep big money out of politics & didn’t result in a more civil election,” he added.

Go for it, Gov. Page!

Somebody’s got to say it.

[JudyinCanada]

Good for him. I don’t believe for one minute that the dems won the house.

[a fool in paradise]

Ranked Choice Voting should be required to have a “no confidence” option if you disapprove of one or more of the remaining “ranks” for an office.

CW II can’t come soon enough for me.

[eyeamok]

Good for him!!

[PIF]

there’s going to be a lot more similar scribbling in 2020 with the kameltoe win.

[TexasGator]

Why do you want to overthrow Trump?

[WellyP]

Gov. LePage has been great for the State of Maine and I fear the incoming political talking head is going to set us back into the debt crisis we were in 10 or 15 years ago. She was quite the party animal back in the day... don’t think she ever paid for a drink or anything else!

You only need to list as many preferences as you want. Eg if you only want to choose one candidate you just list your #1 preference.

[a fool in paradise]

I’d say if NO CONFIDENCE wins, nobody from that bunch should get the seat.

[Leep]

Yet, another win for “Democracy”

[wastoute]

Not coming. It’s here.

[Baynative]

Ranked Choice Voting, Motor Voter, Early Voting, All mail In Ballots, Provisional Ballots, automatic recounts:
All creations of the democrat party, all designed to defraud the legal process.

[tinyowl]

Beautiful.

#FakeCongress

#FakeLaws

Here is our #FakeCongress:

• A Fake congressional seat in Maine
• Four Fake congressional seats in Orange County, Carolinafornia
• Three more Fake congressional seats in Carolinafornia from "ballot harvesting"
• Three Fake congressional seats in Pennsylvania, created by the Democrat Supreme Court in PA
• The Democrats are trying to steal a seat in North Carolina

We can see 11 Fake congressional seats without looking too hard.

The Republic is pretty much done if we don't push back on this.

[Leep]

Some people still blame the voter for bad outcomes of an election.

Incumbent Parlorqueen beat the RAT by 2600 votes.

[semaj]

If it was a “Stolen election,” governor, you should not have signed the certificate, and instead started a serious investigation as to who, how, and why.

[VeniVidiVici]

More DEMOCRAT states are going to go for this style of voting. Maryland I believe has it up for debate. Democrats realize their cheating can win these votes time after time.
