Independent Eliot Cutler appears to have come up a bit short in the race for governor of Maine.
With more than 90% of the votes counted, Cutler has fallen behind Republican Paul LePage by about 6,000 votes or 1%. Since the interior counties seem to be reporting slower, and those areas are going heavily for LePage, it seems unlikely that Culter will be able to pull off a victory in this race.
Maine has a history of electing independent governors. The most recent, Angus King, had endorsed Cutler’s bid.
