Maine and Nebraska use the “district system”, which allots two electors to the candidate who carries the state, then one for each Congressional district. Trump actually won one of four Maine electors because he carried the Second Congressional District.

True, but that method was chosen by the legislatures of Maine and Nebraska. The poster I responded to suggested that all states be mandated to award electors in winner take all fashion. Such a mandate is unconstitutional since it usurps the power granted to the state legislatures to determine the method of selecting electors.
