Summary of Maine Democrats have likely run out of time to change Electoral College laws if Nebraska GOP acts
Republicans in Nebraska are trying to change state law to give Donald Trump an extra Electoral College vote, while Democrats in Maine lack the ability to counter this move due to timing constraints. The unique systems in these two states allow each party to pick off one electoral vote. If Nebraska shifts to a winner-take-all system and Maine cannot, it could lead to a specific close-election scenario resulting in an Electoral College tie. This tie would trigger an arcane process in Congress where Republicans would have the upper hand.
