Maine-2 House Race will be decided by ranked voting

I am happy. I supported Jordan Wood way back when he was running for the senate nomination, but dropped out
He's 2nd right now and fairly close to Baldacci.
Baldacci leads with 31.7. Wood 2nd with 29.5. Dunlap is 3rd 28.7. Loud 4th with 10.2. (per AP)
Paige Loud finished 4th, so her voters second choice will be counted towards Baldacci, Wood, and Dunlap
Then whomever is last of the next 3 voter's will be given next.
It's close enough that it conceivable, but unlikely that any two could advance to the final round of two. Baldacci is likely to make it to round 3. It would take an event where Loud's voters almost all chose Wood and Dunlap and it was 4% for Wood and 4.5-5% for Dunlap for Baldacci to not clear the next round of ranked choice
