these people are pathetic. but parties shouldn't exist. definitely not primaries paid for by taxes.
Trump defies the limits of the office more than other presidents, but it is allowed to happen thanks to partisanship and gerrymandering. Presidents are rarely reprimanded by those in Congress of the same party because our current system gives presidents a lot of influence over who their party supports in primaries, and in very red or blue districts and states, that's the only election these people could lose.
Parties were not supposed to matter in the US.

Maine voters turned out in exceptional numbers for the June 9 primary, with some communities running out of ballots and the secretary of state's office delivering extras to Portland, Westbrook, and Kennebunkport.
Election officials are now tabulating ranked-choice results in five races, the ninth time the state has used the system in a statewide contest, with results expected before the Juneteenth holiday on Friday.

For those wondering why they call #RankedChoiceVoting an "instant run-off" if it is going to take #Maine a full week to tell us who won...
MANY #Maine districts use paper ballots. They have to be hand transferred to the central counting center and validated & scanned before the Round 2 & Round 3 (if necessary) tabulations can be conducted. This is a safety measure to prevent manipulation of the tabulation process when using paper ballots. #uspol #uspolitics #elections
