Place narrative
Patten sits at the edge of the North Maine Woods, where a small, aging population and low voter density make it a bellwether for rural Aroostook-corridor precincts that trend heavily toward statewide Republican margins.

These Census-place returns are modeled candidate-vote estimates on Census boundaries unless a row explicitly says certified. They are not automatically the official city or town return.
† 2004 sub-county results are estimated: the source reported that cycle at county or municipality level (COVID-era consolidated reporting), so block-level detail is interpolated from adjacent cycles and scaled to certified totals.
