Democratic lawmakers in Maine, along with advocates for ranked choice voting, are challenging a proposal by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) that could prevent the state from using ranked choice voting in the 2028 presidential primaries. The DNC is set to vote on a rule change that would bar ranked choice tabulation for delegate allocation. Critics argue this could affect Maine’s delegate representation at the convention. The DNC faces criticism for its primary calendar changes and a significant funding gap compared to the Republican National Committee (RNC), highlighting its financial struggles.
