Democratic Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner has confirmed that a Kik account under the username phustle0331 belongs to him. The account, created June 26, 2016, features an avatar matching Platner’s tattoos and remains active according to reporting. No evidence of messages or criminal activity on the account has been presented.
