AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Secretary of State Matt Dunlap says Maine has certified the results of the 2020 election.

Dunlap gave the results to Democratic Gov. Janet Mills on Monday. Maine is one of two states in the country that apportions single electoral votes for each congressional district in addition to awarding two for the statewide victory.

President-elect Joe Biden won the statewide vote and the 1st Congressional District, good for three of the state’s four total electoral votes.

President Donald Trump won the 2nd Congressional District, which he also carried in 2016.
