Maine Democratic Party Will Hold A State Convention to Choose a New Nominee for U.S. Senate

The Maine Democratic Party will hold a state convention to choose a new nominee for U.S. Senate. The party hasn’t announced the date of the convention, but it must be held before July 27 to meet the election law deadlline. The party already had one state convention this year, on May 1-2. The process by which the party is settling the details is similar to how all U.S. political parties operated in the 19th century, when parties were more independent of state election laws. It is also a process that resembles how political parties in other nations operate.

  1. Real Facts, every single postal ballot signature is checked against the signature on the voter registration form. So Spencer Platt is not correct when he says there are no checks in place. That is why California takes so long to finish its vote tally.

  2. The problem is in the untrustworthy, biased people doing the checking.

  3. @RW,

    You are wrong about 19th Century Senate elections. 17th Amendment was not passed until 20th Century.

  4. They should hve stuck with Platner. Everythign about him represents the values and principles of their party, and the allegations against him are unproven at best.

  5. He withdrew on his own, because even if the allegations against him weren’t true, they make it impossible for him to build momentum and far less likely he – thus, they – could win.

    Long before the allegations which finally convinced him to drop out came out, so did many other allegations – and admitted facts – on a wide variety of things, all of which add up to you being correct that everything about him represents the (absolutely horrible) values and principles of their party (and of his subsequently covered up tattoo).
