The next piece of the puzzle for the group hoping to get the U.S. Supreme Court to establish greater regulations on money in elections was laid on Wednesday. One of two expected appeals were filed in the First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston after a federal district court in July ruled that a 2024

The Maine secretary of state's office is investigating after 250 blank election ballots were found in a resident's Amazon order last week, saying misconduct has not been ruled out, while maintaining the safety of the state's election process.

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" addressed Wednesday the controversies surrounding Maine Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner.

State law bars 'cross-filing,' meaning a candidate can seek to appear on the ballot via party primary or independent petition — but not both.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday endorsed Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) in the state’s 2026 Senate race against GOP Sen. Susan Collins. “We think that Janet Mills is the best
