(The Center Square) — Maine's highest court on Monday ruled that a proposal to expand ranked choice voting to state elections is unconstitutional, delivering a major win to Republicans who challenged the effort to upend the state's election system. 

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court's decision sided with GOP leaders who argued that a bill to expand ranked choice voting to general elections for governor, state representative and state senator would violate the Maine Constitution.
