PORTLAND (AP) – The Maine Supreme Judicial Court has declared a winner in a disputed Democratic primary race in Yarmouth that was initially declared a tie.
In a 15-page decision issued Tuesday, justices ruled Melissa Walsh Innes the winner over Kimberly McLaughlin by a single vote, 485 to 484.
The June 10 ballot count in the primary for House District 107 gave 485 votes to each candidate.
A recount gave 484 votes for Innes, 482 for McLaughlin and three ballots in dispute.
Innes will face Republican Brian Bicknell in November.
