Openly trans woman Daniele VanHelsing is running against Poliquin as an independent:

potential spoiler for more liberal voters?

There’s also a Green with huge support among the Native communities in the district. Both he and Van Helsing together could gift Poliquin another term.

Is Golden not good enough for them? Is there something toxic about his record? If only RCV hadn't been struck down, this wouldn't be problematic.

RCV is clearly unconstitutional though.

This is how Trump wins a second term, folks. Republican voters will never vote third party. Democrats will split their votes

Republican voters constantly vote third party. It costs us elections all the time. I would argue that Republican voters are more likely to vote to vote third party than Democratic voters in down ballot races.

On the Republican side, Poliquin has raised 2 million dollars and still has 1.93 million on hand.

If Lucas St. Clair is the nominee, then the Maine Democratic Party should officially dissolve in the second district. There is absolutely no point to it existing as an organization if it runs such terrible candidates against one of the weakest members of the entire House of Representatives.

And people wonder why I changed to a maroon avi.

In hindsight it’s too bad Michaud ran for Governor

I mean he would’ve won except Cutler.

RCV sucks...runoffs are better.

What's taking so long to count the primary votes?

Some places are very rural.
