@Nate_Libby makes a motion to consider keeping regular tabulation for SOS, saying a manual RCV count could be lengthly and cause confusion if all members don't rank each candidate #mepolitics
Rep. Grohoski speaks on this, says staff are prepared to do a RCV and that a candidate would need to get to 51 to win. #mepolitics
Sen. Diamond, of Windham, says the shift could be tricky to do this year w/o protocols in place on how to challenge discrepencies, uncertancies #mepolitics
Side note: I think almost all the Democrats are here. 101 votes in the chamber & all 22 Dems are here, so I think we’re missing 1 State Rep #mepolitics
Motion fails, 41-60. RCV will be used for the SOS election #mepolitics
Similar to "you're muted," we've had a few mics that have been off already #mepolitics
We're off to the SOS. Matt Moonen is first to be nominated by Rep. McCreight, of Harpswell #mepolitics
Next is Rep. Morales, nominating Sen. Shenna Bellows. If elected, she would be the first woman SOS #mepolitics
Up next is incoming Assistant House Minority Leader @RTalbotRoss, nominating outgoing Rep. Craig Hickman. His candidacy would also be historic -- first Black lawmaker to be the SOS #mepolitics
Now Sen. Cathy Breen, nominating @ErikJorgensen3, her colleague on the budget committee #mepolitics
