MAINE DRAWS LINE: WILL MATCH NEBRASKA ON WINNER-TAKE-ALL

OMAHA- According to Maine House Majority Leader Maureen Terry, if Nebraska holds a special session this summer and decides to award its five Electoral College votes to the statewide winner of the presidential race, then blue-led Maine will match it, canceling any advantage that former President Donald Trump might gain from Nebraska.

"If Nebraska's Republican governor and Republican-controlled Legislature were to change their electoral system this late in the cycle in order to unfairly award Donald Trump an additional electoral vote, I think the Maine Legislature would be compelled to act," Terry said in a statement last Friday. Nebraska and Maine, as of right now, are the only states that split their electoral votes.

Gov. Jim Pillen has already confirmed that he will call a special session if state lawmakers are able to find the 33 votes necessary to overcome the filibuster and pass the changes. Sen. Loren Lippincott, who introduced this year's winner-take-all proposal, said he does not have "anywhere close to 33 votes."
