With roughly 17% of the vote counted in Maine so far, Question 1 has tightened up a great deal, currently standing at 48-51 for no. However, thus far in the night the response to TABOR has remained relatively steady – a complete and utter rejection.

Currently, no is winning handily. They are up by more than 15,000 votes and 20 percentage points.

It is still early, and there is plenty of room for things to change, but TABOR is not performing as well as I thought it would, and appears to be ready to go down in defeat.

Stay tuned as election night evolves.
