Abstract
There is an old joke that “Mainers want progress without change”. It is a state where tradition and history are important, and being the trendiest state in the nation isn’t. Along these lines, Maine politics is yet again giving one a sense of deja vu, particularly where elections are concerned. The two most watched election races in Maine this fall are a great example: they featured the current governor running against her two-term predecessor, and a rematch of the 2018 election in one of the most competitive congressional districts in the nation, Maine’s 2d Congressional District.
