Sanders Edges Biden For Most Of The Local Super Tuesday Vote
The Weekly Packet
|3/4/2020
Vaccine law to stay
The majority of votes cast in the 10 peninsula and island towns in the Democratic Presidential Primary went to Bernie Sanders with 936 votes, followed closely by Joe Biden with 928 votes.
Local voters also agreed, by a large margin, with the rest of state on keeping the strict new law on vaccinating schoolchildren.
In local voting, Elizabeth Warren received 588 votes, and Mike Bloomberg received 307, finishing third and fourth, respectively, among Democratic candidates.
Late Wednesday morning, the Bangor Daily News called the statewide Democratic Presidential Primary for Biden.
Statewide, Biden collected 34.3 percent of the vote, with 91.6 percent of the state reporting. He edged out Sanders who received 33 percent of the vote.
Strong turnout caused ballot shortages in several towns, said local ballot clerks.
Deer Isle Town Clerk Heather Cormier said the biggest draw was the referendum on vaccinations.

A step toward effective climate strategy
As weather-related disasters ramp up around the state and the country, the most noticeable increase in public participation in these climate-related discussions is a demand for more government funding for repairs and adaptation, and yet pretty much zero discussion about decreasing the rate of climate warming. This is both unsurprising and a cause for deep concern.
