Looking through the cast vote record, the most common ballot fill with nearly 8k voters: 1️⃣Jackson 2️⃣Bellows 3️⃣Pingree 4️⃣no vote 5️⃣no vote 6️⃣no vote The alliance clearly worked. The second most common was a first place vote for Shah and no others #MEpolitics

If 265 of Angus King IIIs 2nd place votes went for Bellows instead of Jackson (~2% of Kings 2nd place votes), Bellows would’ve been the nominee. 43% of Jackson’s 1st votes ranked Bellows 2nd which would have put her slightly above Pingree #MEpolitics

DSA candidate for 2026 Michigan Dem US Senate nomination’s DSA surrogate gets personal & insulting. It is depressing to see my skepticism of DSA over reliable “GOP voting” DSA hardliner misogyny. McMorrow D-MI ended campaign so @shannonrwatts endorsed US Rep Stevens. #MEpolitics

Sisters Oregon 2024, “St Paul Rodeo”, escaped bull named “Party Bus”. Maine should be very careful when considering adding rodeos to Maine’s tourism portfolio, eg when adding single seat Amtrak from NYC to Maine. CC: @visitmaine @RideRail #MEpolitics

The struggle for US democracy so #DCstatehood is a struggle in large part because of the explicit support of GHW Bush R-TX for ongoing JimCrow/KKK US #23A tyranny over DC since 1961, & no one in Kennebuckport nor #MEpolitics telling him to stop his KKK.

If Maine (eg Rockland’s Penobscot Bay region) or Connecticut (eg Mystic Seaport) ever get Spanish Navy training sailing ship “Juan Sebastián de Elcano” @Armada_esp to visit, make certain to bring legendary humanitarian & Chef José Andrés @chefjoseandres @visitmaine #MEpolitics

The wife of Justice John Roberts was in personal debt before she became the wife of a judge. After John Roberts became a judge, money flowed to *her* not him. She now has $400 million of her own petty cash, not him. Wink. Wink. #MEpolitics Federal Bribes Kickbacks #NHpolitics
