1910 Maine Gubernatorial Election
The 1910 Maine gubernatorial election took place on September 12, 1910. Incumbent Republican Governor Bert M. Fernald was defeated for re-election by Democratic candidate Frederick W. Plaisted. Plaisted was the first Democrat elected Governor of Maine since his father, Harris M. Plaisted, who won election as a Greenback-Democrat fusion candidate in 1880. This election was also the first time since 1850 that the Democratic candidate won over 50% of the vote; a feat that wouldn't be repeated until the election of 1932. In other words, of the 54 gubernatorial elections from 1850 until 1932, this was the only time the Democratic candidate received at least 50% of the vote.
