A federal judge heard arguments Wednesday in yet another case involving Maine’s landmark ranked-choice voting law. In this case, the Maine Republican Party is suing the Maine Secretary of State in the hope of blocking the voting system from being used in the party’s June 12 primary election.

Political correspondent Steve Mistler covered the arguments held in U.S. District Court in Portland. He spoke with Nora Flaherty on Maine Things Considered to explain what happened.
