(The Center Square) — Maine election officials began recounting tens of thousands of ballots Friday cast in the governor's race as the multi-day process of picking Democratic and Republican nominees by ranked choice voting got underway. 

The ranked choice process is being held at the Maine Department of Public Safety Headquarters building in Augusta, and officials have set up a live stream for the public to watch the counters. The Secretary of State's office said it expects the tabulation process to be completed by next week.
