As I don't have the stomach to look elsewhere yet. Janet Mills, democrat, keeps the governorship. First US District, Chellee Pingree, democrat, held onto her seat. Second US District remains a toss-up. Jarrod Golden, democrat, leads, but doesn't have 50%+1 yet over his two challengers. If he still doesn't have 50%+1, it goes to the rank-choiced voting ("instant run-off") we have in our election system. All votes of third-place receiver are reviewed for those voter's second choice. Those second choice are then added to the two front runners to determine the winner.
