Maine Senate takes unusual step of asking court to hear its concerns about ranked-choice voting
Portland Press Herald: In a highly unusual move, the Maine Senate voted Monday to authorize its president to seek intervenor status in a case in Kennebec County Superior Court that could decide whether ranked-choice voting will be used in the June primaries.
The 21-13 vote late in the day gives Republican Senate President Michael Thibodeau permission to ask the court to hear the chamber’s concerns about the 2016 ballot-box law that gave Maine the first-in-the-nation, statewide ranked-choice voting system.
