Maine Took the US One Giant Step Toward More Democratic Elections
On Wednesday, Maine’s legislature passed a bill joining a compact to commit all of their electoral votes, regardless of who won in their individual state, to whichever candidate won the national popular vote.

Yup, sadly it’ll never gain enough momentum where it needs to. It’s like the ERA all over again
It's literally pending in enough states to be enacted nationwide. If only 270 EC Votes get pledged to the popular winner then the popular winner gets the presidency every time. As long as it doesn't die in a committee then it could be up and running before the 2028 election cycle.
That’s not true. All states added up it’s under 210
It's officially the law for 205 votes, it is pending vote in states adding up to 101, for a total of 306. And mind you, 5 states joined in the 2 year period before the 2020 election.
Do you realize how many bills are pending votes lol? Marijuana legalization is pending votes all across the USA, doesn’t mean I can light up in the Deep South anytime soon
