After the 2004 election then-Congressman Tom Allen met with a small group of volunteers. "It's time to reassess the legacy of Abraham Lincoln. He had a chance to let them go, and he blew it." He was kidding.

Kind of.

The red states are the only ones providing much opportunity for young folks to buy a house right now. Unless your parents are rich it’s nigh on impossible to buy one in a blue state due to how much they limit supply.

🔥 IN THIS MORNINGS UNHINGED NEWS Stephanie Michele Walker-Harmon June 8, 2026 🚨 Tommy Tuberville is threatening to sue a newspaper. That newspaper is Lagniappe Daily — a Mobile-based independent news outlet that did something radical. They scanned a barcode that his own campaign left on public...

Coach Tuberville might be in trouble(although I doubt it) or at least not be eligible to run for governor of Alabama. actually doubt that also but.............
 
An example of how they do elections in the UK. This is from 8 June, 2017, when then-PM Theresa May stood for reelection. Among the cast of characters who opposed her was Elmo (3 votes) and Lord Buckethead (179).
They make all the candidates stand on stage while the election results are read.

Rural areas in blue states have plenty of affordable housing available. Drew wants to build housing projects in the middle of fucking nowhere to make housing more affordable…anywhere in Minnesota > anywhere in Georgia, North Carolina, etc. The Minnesotan government (when it’s Democrats in charge- duh) believes in providing good healthcare, good education at PUBLIC schools, etc. I would take that and living in a shack, or- gasp- an apartment, over a nice house in Alabama or Mississippi. When I (hopefully) obtain my psych NP in a year, Minnesota is on my list of places to move. I miss you, Minnesota! I miss my lakes!
 
Maine so far:
CD1 Chellie Pingree (D)
CD1 TBD (R)

CD2 TBD (D)
CD2 Paul LePage (R)

US Senate Susan Collins (R)
US Senate Graham Platner (D)

Governor TBD (D)
Governor TBD (R)

With only 9% in, Bob Charles (7250, 41%) has a sizable advantage over Ben Midgley and Jonathan Bush (3250, 18% each)
Democrats have four candidates over 21% with fewer than 1800 votes separating 1st and 4th. Angus King III will be the first one out. Will be interesting to see who his voters ranked 2nd...
 
JFC.

In The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll, 66 percent of respondents said that “a democratically elected government” is either “extremely important” or “very important” when it comes to “the United States’ identity as a nation.”

Twenty percent said that a democratically elected government is “somewhat important” when it comes to their country’s identity, 13 percent said a democratically elected government is either “not important at all” or “not too important” in relation to U.S. identity and 1 percent refused to answer the question or skipped it.

Two years ago, 76 percent of respondents saw a democratically elected government as either extremely important or very important for their country’s identity, marking a 10-point drop between 2024 and 2026. In 2021, 80 percent of respondents said the same about a democratically elected government.

The race on the Democratic side for CD2 and Governor and the GOP primary for Governor are going to go to at least a third ballot.

It would appear King III will lose in the first round, and his 8% will be dispersed. From there, it would appear either Bellows or Jackson will go in the second round. That is where the strategy of Bellows-Jackson-Pingree cross-endorsing each other is going to pay off. It is likely to be one of those three vs Nirav Shah in the final round and they will win, but it will be close.

The CD2 race is a complete tossup. The top three candidates are 32-29-29 with less than 1700 votes separating them. Paige Loud will be eliminated and her 10% will be dispersed and no candidate will be at 50 (probably not even 40). Going to be some time before we get the results.

Charles has 38% and Bush and Midgley keep trading second place, currently separated by eight votes at 20%. Even after the votes for the 5th and 4th place candidates are redistributed no one will have 50%. We could see an interesting phenomenon because the GOP has never embraced RCV so I wonder how many voters bothered to rank. Charles might win by default.

Expect the child rapist war criminal to claim the elections are rigged
