TL;DR Summary
Graham Platner won Maine’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary with over 150,000 votes—the most ever for a Maine Democratic Senate candidate and more than any predecessor back to 1918—benefiting from semi-open primaries and a large share of unenrolled voters; he carried nearly all towns, with only three going to Janet Mills, while the GOP gubernatorial primary turnout was also high.
