Maine Republican demands new election unless he’s declared winner of race he lost | Salon.com

'Bruce Poliquin, R-Maine, is asking for a new election unless heâ\x80\x99s declared the winner of the race he lost in the first congressional election ever decided by ranked-choice voting. '

'The complaint filed Tuesday argues that ranked-choice voting violates the U.S. Constitution and the Voting Rights Act. '

'Maine voters have twice approved referenda in favor of ranked-choice voting, which allows voters who prefer minor-party candidates to play a role in the final result -- at least in close elections. '

'Poliquin led Democrat Jared Golden on election night but the race became the first to be decided by the stateâ\x80\x99s new ranked-choice voting system because he failed to get a majority of the vote. '

'The complaint came one day after Poliquin asked the Maine secretary of state to order a hand recount of the votes. '
