RCV Voting

The discussion focused on the ranked-choice voting in the Maine gubernatorial race. Bobby Charles leads with 46,487 votes (37.7%), followed closely by Ben Midgley (24,798 votes, 20.1%) and Jonathan Bush (24,406 votes, 19.8%). Garrett Mason and Owen McCarthy trail significantly. Despite the elimination of other candidates, Charles’ 17-point lead is seen as insurmountable unless a high percentage of voters rank their choices. Models predict Charles will win, possibly with 40-45% of the vote. The conversation also touched on the leniency of Cutler’s probation and parole terms.
