AP Decision Notes: What to Expect in Minnesota on Election Day – WTOP News
The AP will track early and absentee returns, recount rules and outside spending in contests that could shift control of Iowa’s congressional delegation.
- On Tuesday, Maine voters will decide whether to reelect Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins to a record sixth term or replace her with Democrat Troy Jackson, a race that could determine control of the Senate.
- Jackson, a former logger and state Senate president, became the Democratic nominee in July after Graham Platner withdrew following controversies regarding alleged Nazi symbols and sexual assault, which Platner denied.
- Pro-Collins forces outspent pro-Jackson groups $65 million to $55 million on advertising since September 1, while outside groups poured tens of millions more into the race.
- Maine utilizes a ranked-choice voting system for federal offices, where voters rank candidates by preference and, if no candidate secures a majority of first-place votes, the last-place candidate is dropped and preferences are reallocated.
- Under a 2025 law, recounts are automatic if the vote is tied, and candidates may request a recount if the margin is not more than 1% of total votes cast or not more than 1,000 votes, whichever is less.
