Congressman Bruce Poliquin announced he'll end all legal proceedings and wished good luck to Congressman-elect Jared Golden.

On Friday, the federal Court of Appeals rejected Poliquin's appeal of a lower court ruling on the constitutionality of ranked-choice voting.

Golden sent this statement:

“I thank Bruce Poliquin for his service to the state and the spirited campaign he ran in 2018,” said Congressman-elect Jared Golden. “I wish Bruce and his family a Merry Christmas and all the best in the new year, and I look forward to getting to work for the people of Maine’s 2nd District on January 3rd.”
