"Maine's ranked choice voting system is under scrutiny as the race between Rep. Jared Golden and Austin Theriault is critical in determining which party controls the U.S. House."
"The unprecedented attention and financial support for the Golden-Theriault race underscores its significance, with over $30 million invested—a considerable amount for a rural district."
"Ranked choice voting allows voters to rank candidates. If no candidate receives a majority, successive rounds of tabulation reallocate the least-supported choices among the remaining candidates."
"Golden, a Marine veteran and Democratic incumbent, faces off against Theriault, a self-styled unifier, showcasing a stark contrast in their political backgrounds and voter appeal."
