The Maine Democratic Party may have just nominated a candidate who may be worse than the nominee previously forced out of the race, and there are even questions about whether he’s eligible to run.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Platner dropped out of the Maine Senate race earlier this month amid explosive r*pe allegations.
The Democrats in Maine overwhelmingly voted for Platner – knowing he had a Nazi tattoo – and knowing that he sexually assaulted women he dated.
Now, they have officially nominated Troy Jackson as Platner’s replacement during a convention. But if Democrats were expecting a smooth ride for their new would-be Collins conqueror, they were sorely mistaken.
First, Jackson may not be eligible to run to start with. As pointed out by GOP Rep. James White, Maine has a “sore loser” law that says a candidate who runs for one office and loses cannot run for another office in the same cycle.
Jackson previously ran for governor before dropping out.
