Biggest Electoral Winners and Losers

Jessica Alaimo over PolitickerME has compiled lists of those who received the largest number of votes in the State House and State Senate races last month, as well as those who received the smallest number of votes in the State House and State Senate contests.

Joseph Brannigan (D-Cumberland County), one of Westbrook's two state senators, finished with the third-highest vote total in the senate races (13,827 votes). Republican Kevin Crocker, who was defeated by State Rep. Tim Driscoll (D-Westbrook), received the twentieth-lowest number of votes in State House races (1,315 votes). And Republican Nick McGee, who was defeated by Brannigan, received the seventh-lowest number of votes in senate races, (6,336 votes).

The rankings for Crocker and McGee were both based on results sans minor party candidates.
