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.
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.
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.
