About 2016 United States presidential election in Maine in brief
The 2016 United States presidential election in Maine was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Maine voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. Donald Trump won Maine’s 2nd congressional district, making him the first Republican to do so since George H. W. Bush in 1988. Hillary Clinton won every pre-election poll but one, with the average of the last two polls ranging from 3 to 11 points. Maine was once one of the most Republican states in the East. It voted for the Democratic ticket only three times from 1856 to 1988, but a Democrat has won the state’s popular vote in every election since.
Bernie Sanders swept all of Maine’s counties and also won a large share of the democratic caucus votes in New England. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, and John Kasich were all on the ballot for the 2016 Maine state Republican caucuses. The Maine Green Independent Party didn’t compile the results until the state convention on May 7, during which it then assigned delegates based on the results. The Libertarian Party nominated its ticket, former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson for president and former Massachusetts Governor William Weld for vice president, at its national convention in Orlando, Florida, on May 29.
