Congressional District Image[edit]

Hello to any moderator.

Could you help me put an image of Maine's current congressional districts on this page? It is a map that has the district's current borders.

Here is the URL: http://www.mapresources.com/media/catalog/product/m/e/me-usa-895628_comp.jpg

Thanks a ton,

For technical and policy reasons, it is not possible to use images from external websites on Wikipedia. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request an upload. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you.

RCV[edit]

I feel like there's room for clarifying the sentence "In 2018 the district became the first in the United States to have the winner decided through ranked choice voting, after a referendum in 2016 changed Maine's electoral system from first-past-the-post to ranked choice." in the current version of the article. Ranked choice voting also decided various other elections, including the ME-01 House election and the Senate election, held at the same time. The ME-02 election is different because it produced a winner different than the first-past-the-post winner - so I'll update the article to say that.

Done. Airbornemihir (talk) 06:09, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2018 & 2020 Results[edit]

Why is the 2018 House election box for "Recent election results" linking to Australia's system? Shouldn't it link to the general rank-choice voting article instead?

Also, the 2020 election for House and presidential races should be added as well. 2603:8000:A501:9B00:287E:F755:B609:ACF3 (talk) 04:10, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Changed 2018 after no comment in response. 2600:1012:B047:F452:0:52:472E:E01 (talk) 01:54, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
