Hey #mepolitics, Can I share what came in my DMs last night?
I've never seen my name on a ballot before...and the note...and the last time we spoke was January?
I'm not crying, I'm watering my cheek plants.
Thank you #ME02 voter. Sensible is one of my favorite words.

Since someone(s) asked in DM, I figure I need about 100k votes to be somewhat safely 1 vote more likeable than Jared or Bruce and win in round 3 of #RCV.
99,999 or fewer to go. Today's success is a whole digit!
Feel free to @ ballots with me as your #1 😉

Out of state and following along?
Do a #MaineRaising and help someone have a serendipitous introduction to the campaign. You know you want an excuse to say serendipitous today!

It was sent to me by someone who leans independent/right. I think it's really terrific we have a spectrum of voters that want to try something different.

This is awesome! I can't imagine seeing my name on a ballot, must be cool!
To people commenting on the other votes and asking who other choices were, what does it matter? The point of the DM and post was putting Tiffany as first. The rest is none of our business.

I think I'm pull #1 votes across the spectrum. I've always said that. #ME02 is mostly moderate, but picks red if you make them...that doesn't mean they want to vote red, it means they don't feel like they have great options.
(Averaging, recognizing there are both committed D/R)

Um, hey - so we have ranked choice voting in Maine and elect Independents. It must be really frustrating to be stuck with only two options.
Also, that's not my ballot. That was a voter being kind and sharing they had voted for me. Isn't that really charming?
