Remember that Maine splits it’s electoral votes.

How does that work anyway? EV's going to the candidate who wins each CD? With the two Senate EV's going to whom?

Nebraska and Maine both use a system where the two Senate EV's (so to speak) go to the overall winner of the state's popular vote. The winner of each congressional district is awarded a sole electoral vote.
