Actually, Maine has 4 Electoral Votes.
Candidate Trump carried the more conservative 2nd District, which covers 80% of the state, by 10 points, for one electoral vote.
Hillary carried the more liberal 1st Congressional district, in southeast Maine, for one Electoral vote,
Hillary carried the popular vote in Maine by 2.9%, giving her two more Electoral votes. Maine splits it’s electoral votes, just like Nebraska, which has three congressional districts.
Candidate Trump and his sons visited Maine’s 2nd district a number of times during the 2016 campaign. His campaign figured they had 269 electoral votes locked up, and they needed one more electoral vote. Hence the emphasis on Maine’s 2nd District.
As it turns out, Donald Trump didn’t need that extra electoral vote from Maine’s CD 2 because of his wins in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Iowa, etc.
Candidate Trump could have won the whole state of Maine if he spent more money here in 2016. For every Trump commercial, I saw ten Hillary ads.
This time, the president has more money....a lot more....to spend all over the country. Thank God for that.
He was very proud of that 1 vote.
Thanks for the correction.
There’s a sign that reads “Marx Was Right”.
Keep digging, Dems...
