2016 Election: How Gorham Voted

Gorham voters largely reflected Maine voters as a whole Tuesday by preferring Hillary Clinton as president; choosing Chellie Pingress as its representative in the U.S. House of Representatives; and supporting the legalization of marijuana, an increase in the minimum wage, and the adoption of ranked-choice voting. 

The one area Gorham voters differed from statewide voters is on the expansion of background checks to private sales: About 56% of Gorham voters voted 'Yes' on Question 3 to expand the background checks, but Maine voters overall rejected Question 3.
