I’ve signed off on the CD2 election result as it’s no longer in federal court. Ranked Choice Voting didn’t result in a true majority as promised-simply a plurality measured differently. It didn’t keep big money out of politics & didn’t result in a more civil election #mepoliticspic.twitter.com/0fEhD1dvAb
LePage has long been a critic of ranked-choice and his tweet included a photo of the election certificate with the words “stolen election” scrawled next to his signature.
The same certificate will be sent to the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Golden replied to LePage’s tweet Friday afternoon. “Not only are the Governor’s comments wrong, this is yet another attempt by the Maine GOP to undermine the will of Mainers, who twice voted to approve RCV. Maine people are tired of this kind of poor leadership — which is why they voted for sweeping change in November,” he tweeted.
