Secretary of State Shenna Bellows announced ranked-choice tabulation will be required based on the initial results of the General Election for Maine Congressional District 2.
The ranked choice tabulation in the contest between U.S. Rep. Jared Golden and state Rep. Austin Theriault started at 1 p.m. in Augusta; it is expected to take 3 to 5 days to complete.
A Maine Monitor analysis of FEC data finds the majority of Golden’s individual contributions came from out of state, while Theriault’s were more evenly split.
