Election 2016

A recently completed count of military and overseas ballots has expanded the margin of victory for supporters of an effort to legalize recreational use of marijuana in Maine. The Secretary of State's Office on Thursday evening released the results of a count of ballots cast by Mainers living overseas...

Maine voters on Tuesday voted to allow the recreational use and retail sale of marijuana in the state, but opponents are considering a recount.

It appears Mainers will reject Question 3 on Tuesday's ballot, which would have required extensive background checks when purchasing or borrowing firearms.

With Maine ballot clerks reporting "extremely heavy turnout," voters took to the polls Tuesday to help determine the next president of the United States, their representation in Congress and a number of ballot issues including recreational marijuana and added gun control.

The Huffington Post on Thursday posted a video of its correspondent's trip to Bangor, Maine to answer the question, "Why are these voters still supporting Donald J. Trump?"

Former finance minister Blaine Higgs is the new leader of New Brunswick's Progressive Conservative party. He was chosen on the third ballot last night at a leadership convention in Fredericton.

With the close of nominations Friday October 21, New Brunswick byelections will be held on Monday, Nov. 14, in four municipalities: Drummond (two councillors-at-large); Meductic (one councillor-at-large); Miramichi (mayor and one councillor-at-large); and Moncton (councillor for Ward 4).

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will hold a rally on Friday in support of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, her campaign announced today.
