Two States Chose Presidential Electors from Both Major Parties

This year, both Maine and Nebraska elected presidential electors from two parties. President Trump won one elector in Maine, and Joe Biden won one elector in Nebraska. Those two states are the only states that let each U.S. House district choose its own elector.

Two States Chose Presidential Electors from Both Major Parties — 7 Comments

  1. Mere 57 gerrymander areas for 2020 EC votes —

    50 States / DC / 2 ME / 4 NE.

    Result – about 25 pct of popular votes elected the Prez/VP

    Too many media math MORONS to count.

  2. Oye, ¿tienes las cosas? Ha sido un día duro en el sótano de mi madre. Me quedé sin loción y no pude complacerme como de costumbre.

  3. And it may be the one electoral vote Biden gets from Nebraska that gives him enough for victory.

  4. Single presidential elector districts are the answer to all this vote fraud. The max number of rigged Electoral Votes would be only three (one for the affected district and two at large) instead of putting fifteen to twenty at risk.

  5. @ Becker; RE: proportional electors.

    Well, what it would do is “encourage” candidates to campaign in fly-over country. Proof in point, one of Jorgensen’s final campaign events was in Nebraska’s US Congressional District 2 (urban/suburban Omaha). Not for nothing, she was trying to pick up the electoral vote. Ditto her effort in Maine.

    This strategy was already demonstrated in 2008. Obama picked up the Nebraska’s 2nd US district’s electoral vote in an otherwise Republican state. Proportional electoral votes would make elections more competitive by increasing the leverage of smaller parties. I look at it as more a direct representation within the confines of a republic.

  6. What is the fixation with trying to maintain ANY form of the Prez/VP EC ???

    and ANY of the gerrymander machinations in it ???
