Voter Wars

There seems to be an electoral war between the states brewing:

The Nebraska unicameral legislature is ready to make their state a "winner-take-all" electoral state, giving one more electoral vote to Donald Trump. In the past, very red Nebraska would award one electoral vote to the Democratic candidate based on results from Omaha and its suburbs. The other four votes would go to the Republican candidate. In Maine, the vote away from Portland, Augusta, and nearby coastal areas went to Donald Trump in 2020, giving the former president one electoral vote of Maine's four. Now, Maine is threatening to also move to a "winner-take-all" system that would almost certainly deny Donald Trump an electoral vote. In Nebraska, Donald Trump allies have convinced GOP Governor Jim Pillen to call a special session of the legislature in order to pass the change to winner-take-all. “I am steadfast in my commitment to get winner-take-all over the finish line, thereby honoring our constitutional founding, unifying our state and ending the three-decade-old mistake of allocating Nebraska’s electoral votes differently than all but one other state,” Pillen had said. It won't be a sure thing. Democrats can filibuster the change and probably will. There are parliamentary maneuvers that Nebraska Republicans can make to overcome the filibuster but it's something of an uphill climb. But Maine Democrats aren't going to take the change in Nebraska lying down. “Voters in Maine and voters in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District value their independence, but they also value fairness and playing by the rules,” House majority leader, Maureen Terry said. “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 in order to restore fairness to our country’s electoral system.”

I guess actually letting the people decide is too difficult...
