Wow. CNN, and I believe 538.com, had that in the Red column. I think that makes for a solid +38 pick-up, the way it's going. Nice!Yet another Dem pick up...
Jared Golden wins ranked-choice count for Maine's 2nd District
Democrat Jared Golden has won the ranked-choice count for Maine's 2nd Congressional District, defeating Republican incumbent Bruce Poliquin.
This is the first U.S. House seat to be determined by ranked-choice voting.
Golden won with just over 50 percent of the vote after the ranked-choice tabulation Thursday afternoon. Golden won by just over 2,900 votes.
*edit... I believe this makes it 35 to this point the number of seat Dems gained and Repubs lost.
Golden did not "win". This cannot stand. Bad for Maine , worse for the country. Rank choice will be a cancer that spreads throughout the country.

Rank choice will represent the will of the people. Ensuring at the winner represents the choice of at least 50% of the voters
Yes, having 2 votes is very powerful.Yes, it makes way more sense than the alternative and in fact would allow us to get away from 2-party system if a good-enough 3rd party candidate runs!
Voting for your preferred candidate without fearing of "throwing away" your vote is very powerful.

Poliquin needs to fight this all the way to the Supreme Court if it needs to go that far. Rank choice violated Maine's constitution. Maine needs a citizen initiative to ban all future citizen initiatives. It has become a cheap playground for Bloomberg, Soros types to try out schemes to be later brought to the rest of the country.Sore Loser...Deal with it

Poliquin received the most votes.
Maine evidently is tired of winning. Hope Poliquin is not.
