A quick note before we dive in: Slate has been following the troubled Senate candidacy of Graham Platner for months. In a Politico story today, a Maine woman credibly accuses Platner of sexual assault. Platner denies it. But as a Mainer myself, my sense is that this story may be shifting fast. We plan to tackle it tomorrow, so email me your thoughts and questions at theslatest@slate.com.
