The following is an excerpt:
The Green party presidential nominee will campaign with a Maine U.S. Senate candidate today. Former Green party member and independent Senate candidate Lisa Savage will accompany Howie Hawkins, the Green presidential nominee, in a tour across Maine today, including stops in Bangor, Lewiston and Portland.
Third-party presidential candidates could stand to benefit from Maine’s ranked-choice voting system, which will be used in a presidential election for the first time this year. So far, however, third-party candidates have not polled as well here as in 2016, when the Green and Libertarian candidates received a combined more than 7 percent of the vote.
