Matt’s Back

Matt Gagnon discusses his return to “Eggs and Issues” after a hiatus, noting the recent news, including Trump’s actions in Los Angeles and new gubernatorial candidates Hannah Pingree (Democrat) and Owen McCarthy (Republican). Gagnon delves into the debate over ranked-choice voting (RCV) in Maine, noting that while it’s used in federal elections and some local ones, a bill to extend it to statewide elections, including for governor, faces legal challenges. He argues that the Alaska Supreme Court’s ruling on RCV is irrelevant to Maine’s constitution and predicts the bill will be overturned if signed by Governor Janet Mills.
