6. Nobody "eliminated" the vote.

Graham Platner dropped out because his campaign became completely untenable.

When a candidate hides a history of severe sexual assault allegations, racist rhetoric, and a Nazi Totenkopf tattoo, they are the ones defrauding the voters. Exposing the truth isn't an establishment conspiracy... it's basic vetting.Voters have a right to know exactly who they are casting a ballot for.

Platner wasn't pushed out by the DNC... he was forced out by the weight of his own disqualifying conduct. His support completely collapsed because primary voters refuse to be represented by an abusive fraud.

Good riddance. Maine deserves better and the Democratic party deserves better. We all dodged a bullet, whew!
