Maine is one of two states, along with Alaska, that will use ranked-choice voting in the 2024 presidential election. Maine is also one of two states, along with Nebraska, that does not allocate its electoral votes using a winner-take-all system. Instead, Maine awards two of its electors to the candidate who wins a plurality of the statewide vote, while the remaining electors are allocated to the winners of the plurality vote in each of Maine’s congressional districts.
I always thought that the winner take all system is a big mistake. If we awarded one EV for each congressional district and two for the candidate that carries the whole state, we would not have had a democrat president since FDR, and the presidential election would be a lot harder to steal. An example, in 2012, Romney carried my congressional district, but Obama carried the state. Is it fair that the EV for my district went to Obama?
Maine is a red state hijacked by blue criminals. If you look at the FEW counties that installed the current “governor” they are also the only states with more votes than voters in 2020. I gave up after being a lifelong Mainer and moved to land of the free in 2019. Don’t miss it one bit!
