Following the close of the polls, Maine Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Marra issued the following statement:
“Maine’s election administrators worked around the clock to ensure that today’s election was both safe and inclusive. I want to thank them, as well as the Maine people who volunteered to serve as poll workers, for their hard work to meet this unprecedented moment. But today’s successful election saw just a fraction of the turnout we’ll see in November. As we prepare for the fall, and an unpredictable pandemic environment, we must turn up the dial on everything we did during today’s election so every eligible Mainer can safely participate in our democratic process.
“I also want to thank each candidate who competed in today’s primary election on their hard fought campaigns, especially under challenging circumstances. As we await final results, it’s clear that Maine people are fed up with Republicans in Washington and fired up by Democrats who wake up every day and fight for them. I look forward to working with our strong slate of candidates to continue making progress on issues that matter most to Mainers."
