Paul LePage wins Maine’s 2nd District after ranked-choice count
This story will be updated. AUGUSTA, Maine — Former Gov. Paul LePage, a Republican, won Maine’s 2nd Congressional District on Thursday, beating Democrat Matt Dunlap after a ranked-choice tabulation, according to results from the secretary of state’s office. LePage, who declared victory last week , beat Dunlap, the state auditor, by just over 5,400 votes. Blank and write-in ballots kept him just short of the majority needed to win outright, leading to the count in Augusta. His win flips the seat U.S. Rep. Jared Golden, a centrist Democrat, has held since 2019.
