**Maine voters headed to the polls on [Date of Election] to decide a number of key races, including primaries for both the Democratic and Republican parties.**  

This year's election saw some tight contests, particularly in the state House races. The Times has compiled a comprehensive look at the results, including interactive maps showing the leading candidates' margins in each district.

**Key Highlights:**

* **Contested House Races:** Twelve state House districts saw contested primaries, with both Republicans and Democrats vying for their respective party nominations. 

**Ranked-Choice Voting:**

Maine's unique ranked-choice voting system came into play in two Democratic primaries: District 118 (Portland) and District 123 (Cape Elizabeth). These races featured three candidates, requiring voters to rank their choices in order of preference. The winner will be determined after the lowest-ranked candidate is eliminated and their votes are redistributed based on the second choices indicated by voters.

**Electoral Votes:**

Maine's electoral votes are allocated based on a proportional system, unlike the winner-take-all approach used in most states. This means that the winner of the popular vote in Maine may not necessarily receive all of the state's electoral votes.

In the heart of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, a new culinary gem has emerged, bringing the rich flavors and traditions of Palestinian cuisine to New York City. Ayat, the brainchild of Abdul Elenani and his wife Ayat Masoud, opened its doors in October 2020 with a mission to showcase authentic Palestinian cooking in a city where such representation was sorely needed.

The restaurant's menu is a delightful blend of family recipes passed down through generations and popular street food staples. Diners can savor traditional dishes like mussakhan, a sumptuous roasted chicken dish served with caramelized onions and sumac-spiced flatbread, alongside familiar favorites such as shawarma. This combination of home-style cooking and street food creates a unique dining experience that caters to both those seeking a taste of nostalgia and adventurous food enthusiasts alike.

Ayat Masoud, a lawyer by profession and passionate home cook, is the culinary force behind the restaurant's menu. Her recipes, honed through years of family gatherings and personal experimentation, form the backbone of Ayat's offerings. This personal touch ensures that each dish carries with it not just flavors, but also stories and memories of Palestinian culture.

The restaurant's ambiance is as much a part of the experience as the food itself. Upon entering Ayat, guests are immediately immersed in a space that celebrates Palestinian heritage. The decor, featuring traditional art and artifacts, serves as a visual representation of the owners' commitment to their roots. This unapologetic embrace of Palestinian identity extends beyond mere aesthetics, as the restaurant also aims to educate patrons about Palestinian culture and history.

Elenani and Masoud's venture comes at a time when representation of Middle Eastern cuisines in New York City is expanding. However, Ayat stands out for its specific focus on Palestinian dishes, filling a niche that had long been overlooked in the city's diverse culinary landscape. The owners hope that their restaurant will not only satisfy taste buds but also foster a greater understanding and appreciation of Palestinian culture among their patrons.

As Ayat continues to gain popularity, it has become more than just a restaurant; it's a cultural ambassador, bridging communities through the universal language of food. Whether you're craving a comforting plate of fattat lahma or a quick shawarma wrap, Ayat offers a taste of Palestine that is both authentic and accessible.

With its commitment to quality, tradition, and cultural pride, Ayat is quickly becoming a must-visit destination for food lovers in Brooklyn and beyond.

Maine's Presidential Primary Results: A Divided State and a Historic Electoral Vote Split

The Associated Press has called the results of Maine's presidential primary, with the Republican primary race being the first to be decided. The Democratic primary, however, will be decided by ranked-choice voting in two districts, marking a significant departure from the state's traditional winner-take-all approach.

According to The Times' estimates, the Republican primary saw a decisive victory for the leading candidate, with 91% of the vote. This result is in line with pre-election polls, which showed a narrow lead for the winner. The Democratic primary, on the other hand, features three candidates in District 118 (Portland) and District 123 (Cape Elizabeth), and will be decided by ranked-choice voting.

This approach to the primary is significant, as Maine is one of only two states - along with Nebraska - that do not use a winner-take-all electoral vote allocation. For the first time in its history, Maine will split its electoral votes, with the winner of each district receiving a proportionate share of the 23 electoral votes at stake.

The Times' estimates suggest that the Democratic primary in District 118 will be decided by a narrow margin, with the leading candidate expected to receive around 40% of the vote. In District 123, the leading candidate is expected to receive around 50% of the vote.

The outcome of these primaries will have significant implications for the general election, as Maine's electoral votes will be split between the two major parties. This could potentially give an advantage to the Democratic candidate, who is expected to receive a larger share of the electoral votes.

As the primary season heats up, Maine's unique approach to the election process will be closely watched by voters and pundits alike. The state's decision to split its electoral votes is a significant departure from the traditional winner-take-all approach, and will likely have far-reaching consequences for the general election.

In related news, polls close in Maine's presidential primary at 8 p.m. Eastern time, with The Associated Press providing real-time results and analysis. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
