On Saturday evening, November 3, all six candidates who are on the ballot for the U.S. Senate race in Maine debated each other on television. See this story. One of the independent candidates, Stephen Woods, announced during the debate that he is no longer asking for votes, and endorsed independent Angus King, who is leading in the polls.
The other candidates in the race are Democratic nominee Cynthia Dill, who is running third in the polls; Republican nominee Charles Summers, who is running second; Libertarian Andrew Ian Dodge, whose ballot label is “Independents for Liberty”; and independent candidate Danny Dalton.
It’s always a good thing when minor party and independent candidates are actually allowed to enter debates with their Democratic and Republican Party opponents. It’s too bad that debates like this don’t happen more often, and it’s too bad that nowhere near as many people watch these debates as watch the “debates” between the presidential candidates of the Democratic and Republican Parties.
Im glad when everyone on the ballot gets to debate, but im afraid the 5% vote organization around a candidate option only applies to Presidential and Gubernatorial candidates
#2, you’re right. Thank you. I have just now amended the post.
i just think how to avoid this traffic jam in mundane politics to go clear over divine providence to prospective universalism
