Did Ted Cruz really win every county in Maine?

The day of the caucus, the pundits polled by the Bangor paper reiterated that Trump would win and the LePage endorsement was important.

The same Bangor paper a few weeks earlier published a discussion between pundits which showed that Cruz wasn’t considered in contention at all.

So how on March 5th, following Trump’s decisive 7 state win days before on Super Tuesday, did Cruz beat Donald 45.9% to Trump’s 32.6%? Moreover, how is it possible that following a decisive Minnesota win, that Rubio could only have attracted 8% of the vote when he had nearly doubled Cruz’s vote totals in Massachusetts days before? Between New Hampshire and Massachusetts, (as seen in the graphic to the right courtesy CNN Exit Polling), Cruz only won one single precinct or county.

The Maine GOP caucus turnout was 342% over 2008 (VA and TX were 110% and 109% where millions spent in ads)

Maine's 2008 Republican caucus was a non binding beauty contest. The 2016 caucus, for the first time, IS binding.

The comment from your link is very misleading.
