After neither candidate cleared the 50% threshold when first choices were tabulated, Democratic Rep. Jared Golden defeated Republican challenger Austin Theriault in Maine 's ranked choice contest
"Every Mainer's voice should be heard and their vote counted in this historically close race and we have seen several anomalies that can only be rectified with a full recount. We appreciate everyone's patience and support as we work to ensure every vote is counted," said Theriault's campaign manager, Shawn Roderick.
Some media prematurely declared Golden the winner before the secretary of state's office invoked the ranked choice process, and Theriault's campaign quickly requested a recount. The election results must be certified and sent to the governor by Maine's Nov. 25 deadline, though state law grants an exception for recounts.
"I've been one of the most independent-minded members of Congress, one of the most bipartisan," Golden said during an October debate, adding that he had voted against President Joe Biden"more than any other Democrat in the House of Representatives."
