AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Maine election officials say former state Rep. Dale Crafts won the state’s Republican primary in the 2nd Congressional District using ranked choice voting.

Crafts also won the first round of voting on Election Day and both of his opponents, Adrienne Bennett and Eric Brakey, conceded and threw their support behind him in the general election.

Maine officials announced Tuesday that Crafts won the ranked round.

He did not crack 50% of the initial vote, triggering another round of voting under Maine’s ranked-choice voting law.

In the end, it didn’t make a difference.

He will face Democratic Rep. Jared Golden in November.
