Maine State House
The Maine State House in Augusta.
  • A top Maine Democrat floated changes in the state's electoral laws in response to Nebraska.
  • Nebraska Republicans earlier in April sought to change how the state allocates its electoral votes.
  • The move was backed by Trump in a state where Biden was able to pick up one electoral vote in 2020.

A high-ranking Maine Democratic lawmaker on Friday warned that the state would be "compelled" to change its Electoral College delegate allocation to a "winner-take-all" system should Nebraska tweak its rules to benefit former President Donald Trump.

Maine House Majority Leader Maureen Terry in a statement said that voters in her state and in Nebraska's swing 2nd Congressional District "value their independence, but they also value fairness and playing by the rules."
