🎉 Here's where the candidates will gather on Tuesday night.
◉ Both Mills and LePage voted in their hometowns of Farmington and Edgecomb on Tuesday and will make swings to polling places before winding up at their election night parties in Portland and Lewiston.
◉ Mills and Democrats will rally at Aura, a music venue in downtown Portland.
◉ The spot for LePage and Republicans will be the Peck Building in downtown Lewiston, which houses party offices.
◉ Golden has no public election-night events planned. He will watch the results come in with family and staff in Leeds and is expected to address media in Lewiston if there is an outcome in the race.
◉ Poliquin will be at his normal location at Dysart's restaurant on Broadway in Bangor.
📮 The final pre-Election Day absentee ballot numbers are in.
◉ Nearly 225,000 Mainers cast absentee ballots as of Monday afternoon, with another 27,000 or so that could come back to clerks by the end of the day, according to data from the secretary of state's office.
◉ Democrats have dominated absentee voting, filing 49 percent of ballot requests to 24 percent for Republicans. So they probably have an effective lead going into Election Day, but Republicans should see a strong bump from in-person turnout. |
