I’m not sure if the GOP took this court in the past or whether Maine’s legislature tried to deal with Rank Choice Voting, but a court ruled at some point that Rank Choice Voting was unconstitutional for state office such as governor, but it was OK for the U.S. Senate races in Maine and the races for the House of Representatives.

That had me scratching my head. If it’s unconstitutional for state races, how is it constitutional for federal races?

Congressman Poliquin is already challenging Rank Choice Voting in federal court, claiming that it is unconstitutional. I hope he succeeds.

In June, the democrats had Rank Choice Voting decide their primary for governor...there were six or seven candidates.
Attorney General Janet Mills won the primary and, unfortunately, the November election.

Conservative governor Paul LePage was term limited. He is re-locating to Florida, any will come back to Maine every April for the warmer weather months.

Gov. LePage has stated that he might move back to Maine in four years and run again for governor (a governor can serve more than two times, but only the first two terms can be consecutive).
