We’ve seen a lot of videos about big news outlets preparing for tonight and while the NYT says it has more than 100 staffers on duty, we at the @MaineVillager are proud to announce we have MORE THAN 4 reporters on duty. instagram.com/reel/DfSc_J_JP…

Has the Keisha Lance Bottoms song resurfaced since she won governorship? Perhaps the best campaign song since "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" and easily best bop to include a lyric about being "a member of the State Bar of Georgia." soundcloud.com/user-949178761…

Sure, but that was 2017 — 9 years and two presidencies ago! Hardly a better answer.

@aseitzwald Also SHOCKING she wouldn't just talk about voting to save the ACA.

My jaw dropped watching the moment live. Especially for someone who is so smart about triangulating every vote and knew she would get this question. Stunned she didn’t set herself up with a better answer over the past two years.

In many ways, this was the most telling moment of the cycle - Collins was directly asked if she could think of a time where her dissent actually made a difference and functionally admitted that she couldn't.

Incredible drone video of Maine Gov.-elect Hannah Pingree stepping off the ferry on North Haven Wed. night (she's 1st figure on wharf), greeted by cheering neighbors as she returned home for the first time since winning.

Shot by an island student named King Arthur (for real).
