Maine obviously forgot the electoral college is there to ensure small states have a say in the election. If we had a popular vote Maine would always be ignored.

And I guess any state has the right to decide how to use their electors, but it seems oxymoronic to send your electoral college votes for YOUR STATE based on the NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE. You are basically eliminating the whole purpose for even having your own electors.

But hay, what will be hilarious is watching the democrats in Maine crying when Trump wins the popular vote.

NY-—FLA-—CALIF-—Ill—Tex would be doing all the electing.

47 states would not count for anything

Maine has to be the dumbest state in the nation. They once had a nice homogeneous low-crime population who were all on the same page. The then Maine said "we've got to keep up with the times and import some of them darkies and Somali Negroes."

The absudity is preposterous.
