If I were the Democratic candidate, I would get that certificate framed. It shows he won the race fair-and-square, despite the governor being a whiny little bitch about it.

The republican was the most downvoted. This is how we get a libertarian party to win. I ran condorset polls (a different kind of ranked election) that put the libertarian candidate in the lead for 2016.
Ranked voting should be the future. Not using it allows party establishment to run their pick and be guaranteed a 50% chance of winning no matter who they pick. It enables corruption.
If you change the mode of elections for the better you are still going to loose some elections. You always will. Don't shit on an improvement because by chance you happen to have lost the first one.

So, one man, one vote.
No longer applies.
This is not an improvement.

If no candidate wins the majority, they eliminate the last place finisher and take his/her second choice picks and distribute them among the remaining candidates. That process is then repeated until someone gets over 50% of the vote.
So let me get this right. If you chose the last place candidate, the literal bottom of the barrel, least liked candidate, you get to essentially vote for your second place instead?

He had the authority to arrest and execute these people; he didn’t.

Oh, what provision of Maine law gives the governor the authority to arrest and execute a candidate for winning a congressional race?

First time I've heard of this "ranked choice voting". Seems like fraud, honestly. And Maine signed that into law? And the guy who got it passed is now trying to spread it? Dude needs to be shot.
