Republican Rep. Bruce Poliquin has lost his seat to Democratic challenger Jared Golden through ranked-choice voting for Maine's 2nd District House race, Maine’s Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap said Thursday.
“It looks like Jared Golden is the apparent winner of the ranked-choice election,” Dunlap said, noting that Golden received 50.5 percent of the votes and Poliquin won 49.5 percent.
Just hours before Dunlap’s announcement, a judge had rejected Poliquin’s request for a temporary restraining order to halt the ranked-choice voting process and claimed ranked-choice voting is unconstitutional.

Time for the revolution to begin folks
Ranked choice voting is such BS. Just another scheme somebody came up with to circumvent the system. And whoever allows this nonsense should be in prison. This whole idea just completely baffles me, what ever happened to whoever gets the most votes wins?
