Maine voters sent some loud and clear messages on Election Day this year.

First, they sent a clear message on the York County casino vote, which ought to send a message to every self-serving millionaire that thinks he can buy special privileges in Maine with a slick, deceptive campaign. 

Then they sent Paul LePage another loud and clear message by making Maine the first state in the nation to expand Medicaid by popular vote.
