This is on our ballot because the last two gubernatorial elections included a third party that pulled Democratic votes leading to Paul LePage becoming governor once with 38.1% oft he vote and the second time with 48.2% of the vote. The second time wasn't too bad, but 38%?! Would have been nice to see the second pick for the folks who didn't pick the independent in the first election. Pretty sure the Dems would have carried the election with a serious majority. Now Maine is a bit of a national embarrassment with a governor who can't go a single month without insulting someone or criticizing others for playing politics in ... wait for it ... politics.
