which is why popular vote doesnt matter
you can have 5 million californians bonus vote to your popular vote count
but their electoral votes will not be counted as strongly as someone from texas
Or Wyoming
exactly
Wyomingetes have the most power
Now for Maine
They use a joint-system
*split elector
whatever it's called and renamed nowadays
with split electors
It means your electoral votes are delegated proportionally
If half wanted Trump and half wanted Clinton
Nebraska also uses that
really?
nebraska as well then
and it's very interesting
Now if half wanted trump and half wanted clinton
then the state will *attempt* to delegate half of their electoral votes to trump and to clinton
and whoever has the most will get the leftovers ofc
so if maine has 3, then 1 will go to trump and 1 will go to clinton
however since trump had 3 more people voting for him than clinton
maine will use that remainder for trump
Interesting
Maine has 4
which is lucky
if they had an odd number
ppl would get mad
Nebraska has a odd number
4 and 1
now
Lol on when Ohio goes Red again
What really happens
is that some states
are predominantly either republican
or democrats
Ex. Texas is red
will always bleed red
Nebraska has odd split vote
California used to bleed red
