44% of total vote declared the winner, was not the intent of the law. You have less right to this seat than anyone that has come before you. My vote was cast aside, and didn't count, as if I did not stand in line 2 hours in Bangor to cast my ballot. I am the disenfranchised voter

I suspect “the people of Maine” did not expect this: It even makes my head hurt....pic.twitter.com/bytKOSpvoj

Anyone who followed the debates about ranked choice voting and the two successful referenda campaigns supported by the voters of Maine. knew it is an instant runoff system. Here's a video by a high schooler explaining it.

There is a difference between an “instant runoff”, and a “transfer of votes”. This method keeps political parties in power sans affording an Independent an opportunity to serve; no more “Mr. Smith goes to Washington”. As an Independent, I am disappointed but accept it; for now.

Strongly suggest reading the judge's opinion if you haven't already. And the method in fact makes it more possible for independents to win compared to the current system.

Thanks for the recommendation and I will tho not yet convinced. Voting dynamics continue to change (urban vs rural) and most of Maine is still rural. If someone shows rural America this formula to explain why the individual with the most votes lost, I cant see it standing long...pic.twitter.com/tDTt4I3VNJ

We are seeing similar issues being played out in Europe as well. Good talk and thanks!pic.twitter.com/dpIEswPpYB

Don't let anyone get you down. I was skeptical of rank choice now I love it. Poliquin wasn't even marked on my ballot.

Mr. Golden the standard vote count (Majority) was not in your favor. Mr. Poliquin received the most votes in the1st round of recount. Why did you run with a party that 1. does NOT KNOW THAT
