Outgoing Maine governor writes "stolen election" while certifying results - Polidicks

https://www.necn.com/news/new-england/Outgoing-Maine-Gov-Paul-LePage-Writes-Stolen-Election-as-he-Signs-Off-on-Election-503623581.html Maine's outgoing Republican governor is signing off on the results of a disputed congressional contest, but not before getting the last word with a handwritten note calling it a "stolen election." A federal appeals court filing Friday showed all parties agreed to the dismissal of Republican Rep. Bruce Poliquin's lawsuit over the November election without any award of legal fees. The filing makes formal Poliquin's Christmas Eve announcement he'd abandon the suit. LePage tweeted Friday he signed off on the results despite his dislike of the new ranked voting method. The election marked the first use of ranked-choice voting in a congressional race. Democratic Rep.-elect Jared Golden won the election. Golden received fewer votes than Poliquin in the first vote-counting round, but pulled ahead when second-choice ballots were later counted. https://twitter.com/Governor_LePage/status/1078726890746191872

gotta really jerk off that base, gotta get them really stroked really hard, government is a popularity contest nothing more.

He's an infant

What were the results?

Paul Lepaige is probably the second biggest manchild after Trump himself.

For that congressional election the loser kept trying to challenge in cout about RCV being illegal. The governor is term limited

Democrats have way more to complain about when it comes to election fairness. At least find a better way to complain about it than writing a pointless passive aggressive note.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, worm.

Isn't this the same guy who said that trans people should be denied public education?

Man who only became governor by splitting the vote and winning with 37.6% hates voting system that would have allowed voters to reject him

"Boo hoo, I can't steal elections by exploiting a broken voting system anymore so I'm going to project and say they stole my throne from me!" This is why we need RCV. There may be debatably better options out there, but it's better than nothing for now. Republicans literally cannot survive in anything but FPTP.

omg how absolute buttdestroyed do you even have to be to do this

And also potential majoritarian voting system alternates like Approval voting is got their first city to used it in Fargo, North Dakota too, If Republicans are start to accepting it. But besides, Who cares Mr. LePage as you are going replace anyway in January 2nd.

In the case of the latter, is that a bad thing? Parasites of any colour need to be cleared out.

Oh yes, If they... Have corporate donors, As way of cheating to win rather than having his/her supporters donated to their campaign. Have military contactors, To betrayed its anti-Military supporters for getting being rich. Have fossil fuel donors, To betrayed its pro-environmentist/politically Green for getting being rich. And working with right-wingers and demagogue people is not very good of betraying its left-wing or uncorrupted center-left supporters as way to “expand” new supporter size.
