Update On RCV & The Race

The conversation discusses the political landscape in Maine, focusing on the ranked-choice voting (RCV) tabulation for the primary elections. Rick Bennett, an independent candidate for governor, is already running general election ads. The gubernatorial race is closely contested, with Shenna Bellows and Troy Jackson leading. In the Democratic second congressional district race, Joe Baldacci, Matt Dunlap, and Jordan Wood are closely matched. The RCV process is ongoing, with no clear timeline for results. The discussion also touches on the potential impact of Angus King’s voters on the gubernatorial race and the strategic importance of second-choice votes.
