i'm thinking about moving to maine so i've been paying attention to politics up there and one thing i noticed, and in fact maine is known for, is the fact that the governor's political party frequently switches when a new one is elected. i think this has happened every time since the 50's.
i also note that gov. lepage is kind of nutty and has been in power long enough for his nuttiness to turn independents and centrists off. he also has a contentious relationship with the legislature including his own republican party. now i'm not saying he's a bad governor because i frankly don't have to time to keep track of maine's politics that closely, but i am saying it's certainly possible for him to lose an honest election.
i also think there's a disturbing trend going on where anytime an election is lost it is blamed on election fraud. of course shillary did it, but a lot of republicans are doing it too. now in no way am i saying there isn't any fraud going on, in fact i'm sure it's happening, but the fact that it's being used as a standard complaint is pretty worrying to me and makes actual cases of electoral fraud easier to ignore.
Maine has free healthcare and TONS of migrants and muslims. Maine will eventually fail like every border state. The muslims will let the migrants take care of the libtards then the muslims will take care of the "non-believers"
