Maine Democratic Party Asks Graham Platner To Quit Senate Race
Chair Charlie Dingman, Vice Chair Imke Schessler and Devon Murphy-Anderson signed the July 6 letter citing unspecified allegations from multiple women.
- Executive Director Devon Murphy-Anderson also signed the letter demanding Platner's withdrawal from the race.
- Party published new nomination rules July 9, then process details on July 10 and 11.
- Counties will pick convention delegates through nominating meetings to choose a replacement nominee.
Why it matters: A party that rewrites nomination rules mid-race is choosing its own candidate, not policing one.
