He was the first choice of Republican-fascists in Maine, and the last choice of 62% of Maine voters but winner-takes-all and the idiocy of easy ballot access gave that idiotic piece of racist shit to us for eight years.
Ranked-choice voting, not perfect but the most easily gotten way of preventing LePage brain-eating disease from taking over your state.
Update: I feel fairly safe in saying there is not a state legislature in the country which doesn't have lunatics in it. New York's certainly does. I would point out that despite the idiocy of Republican Rep. Richard Pickett of Dixfield, the bill to provide female inmates with menstrual products passed out of committee and will certainly become law in Maine. Only I doubt he knows how a bill becomes law because he's extremely stupid.
