Press Herald -A panel of federal judges rejected Rep. Bruce Poliquin’s request for an emergency injunction to block Maine from certifying Jared Golden as the winner of Maine’s 2nd Congressional District race.
In a one-sentence order, three judges on the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston ruled that the request doesn’t show Poliquin “to have a strong likelihood of success on the merits.”
While Poliquin’s broader appeal of a lower court ruling is still alive, the rejection is the latest blow against his legal case challenging the ranked-choice voting process that ended with Golden, a Democrat, unseating the two-term Republican incumbent.
