Maine can also split it’s electoral votes. The state has four, but Maine is one of two states where all electoral votes don’t have to go to the same candidate (Nebraska being the other state that can split the electoral votes.)
Maine is purple. The north and east are mostly republicans and libertarians and the “cities” in the south are mostly democrats. They also split their 4 electoral votes by district.
Yes, but the Supreme Court at some point is going to need to rule one way or the other on the 14th amendment issue, and States like Colorado and now Maine breaking from the rest it’s going to make that more clear. A presidential election isn’t going to work if the potential GOP nominee isn’t allowed on several state ballots for even the primary. And several of the states where Trump was allowed onto the primary ballot recently said that once he is officially the nominee that the case could/should then be tried again to disqualify him from the ballot for the presidential election on the fact he has been ruled an insurrectionist and the 14th would then apply.
It’s only “blue states” for now, but each is a push for the Supreme Court to make a ruling of law, else we have a banana republic where the GOP candidate isn’t even on the ballot (and would be blocked from a write in campaign also).
Well that’s nice to hear. Fuck that guy. But aren’t Maine and Colorado already blue states?
