This kind of election manipulation is disgusting and evil.
Me too, BUT only if it was the law of the entire USA.
If that were to happen {never will} the pubbies would NEVER LOSE another Presidential election.
Just check the color of the USA district map, even NY or commieformia.
The ones that haven't screwed her... she gave oral relief... at least three times.
The people of Nebraska haven’t supported a democrat for President since 1964.
Why the hell are they giving an electoral vote to the democrat?
The blue dot in a red sea needs to disappear......get it done.
ABC News screwed her and themselves by trying to help her.
But under Maine’s constitution, a bill can only become a law 90 days after it’s passed. There are 46 days until the November 5 election and 87 days until electoral votes are set to be cast. Democrats could circumvent the 90-day window if they have a two-thirds vote in each chamber. But they don’t have that.
From the article. They missed two important details. One, constitional amendments must originate from the state legislature and pass with a 2/3rds majority and Two, they must be ratified by a majority of the voters. So there is no way that this is ever going to change in Maine.

That’s an image I didn’t need.🤮
I don’t think so. How many 3rd party are in Congress right now?
If Ross Perot had run a slate instead of running solo, there’d be a lot more now. That sort of thing has to start with organization at the top.
It’d be a scattershot approach, throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. And a few would. A presidential ad buy in a big market hits a lot of counties.
The dirty little secret is that the mechanism of the Electoral College is, by design, compatible with mechanisms which do not include popular vote determining or even affecting the selection of POTUS.Conducting popular votes within the states to determine the selection of the electors is traditional, and not doing it would be challenged in Congress - but the Nebraska plan shows that the state legislatures are, constitutionally, supposed to control the process. The Democrats in Congress imposed what should be called, not “Election Day” but "Election Season" nationwide - but the states should have told Congress where to go with that idea.
