“Bangor is in the second CD in Maine which has become more & more conservative over time; they just elected a republican to the U.S. House. What’s of interest is that if Trump loses the state of Maine, but wins the Second CD he still gets 2 of Maine’s 4 EVs.”
I think it’s two ev’s for the state and one each for each congressional district which would give him 1 of Maine’s 4 ev’s should he lose the state but win the 2nd district.
Ok, thanks. Better 1 than none:)
I live in Maine, and you are correct.
The winner of the statewide popular vote receives two electoral votes.
The winner of the popular vote in the First Congressional District in southern Maine receives one electoral vote, and
the winner of the popular vote in the Second Congressional District (80% of the state) also receives one electoral vote.
Maine, with a population of 1.2 million, has four electoral votes.
