Supreme Court to decide between Innes, McLaughlin

Two Yarmouth Democrats caught in a tie for a House seat nomination will appear before the Maine Supreme Court July 7.

Melissa Innes and Kimberly McLaughlin both received 482 votes on June 10, primary day. McLaughlin disputed one ballot, Innes disputed two.

The court will decide the merits of the three ballots next week.

Innes said she will be submitting her brief to the court today.

“I’ll just be happy when the primary is over,” Innes said. “We need to bring to Democrats in Yarmouth back together.”
