This feels alarmingly like 2010. Trump could get a 2nd term.

No doubt this is a disappointing night in some respects, but Dem totals in WI, MI, PA etc is promising.

I read Poliquin will sue, but on what grounds? Ranked choice is not that different from run-offs.

Presumably, the argument would be that it is unconstitutional to change the congressional election process through citizen initiative, because the Constitution gives the power to regulate congressional elections to state legislatures (subject to federal legislation).

This argument was rejected by the Supreme Court in the Arizona Redistricting Commission case in 2015.  But the vote was 5-4, with Kennedy breaking the tie to side with the four liberals.  With Kennedy replaced by Kavanaugh, the outcome could be different if the Court heard the same argument today.

If the Supreme Court overturns the vote and hands the seat to a whining Poliquin in defiance of Maine state law, a Democratic challenger is all but guaranteed to win with a majority vote in 2020.

How can you argue that this should be counted?

The Dem is circled and Scott's name is crossed out. That being said, I can see this getting counted.

My Lord people just follow the instructions!

Thats the problem with filling these out in pen.

Careful, if you move against pens voters will be mandated to bring No. 2 pencils.
