AUGUSTA, Maine -- As Republicans dig out from under a midterm landslide, they can point to a single bright spot on the nationwide congressional map. That's Maine's 2nd congressional district, the only seat that went from blue to red without the help of redistricting.
Republican Paul LePage won Maine’s 2nd Congressional District in the midterm election, according to Newser. goSkagit reported that it was the only congressional seat to shift from Democratic to Republican control without redistricting. The St. Catharines Standard described the race as a lone Republican gain amid nationwide losses, and Newser said LePage narrowly beat his Democratic opponent. The reports do not name that opponent.
