In a dramatic event streamed lived on Facebook Thursday, Maine Secretary of State Matt Dunlap declared that Democrat Jared Golden is the “apparent winner” of the race for the states 2nd congressional district. He narrowly defeated two-term GOP incumbent Bruce Poliquin after nine days vote-counting and an unsuccessful legal challenge by the Republican to the state’s ranked-choice voting system. A Golden victory would bring the overall number of seats gained by the new Democratic House majority to at least 35—a figure that could continue increasing in the days to come.
