The article was paywalled so I found another. Turns out Platner and his wife are still together. They got counseling and their marriage is now going strong. They have gotten past this. If his wife has accepted his past actions I don't see why Maine voters wouldn't accept it either.

In a statement from Gertner provided by the Platner campaign, she wrote that they have gone through counseling and that their marriage today "is stronger than ever before."

Didn't Anthony Weiner say pretty much exactly the same thing until he got caught again?
