Here’s a story that we hope the Nebraska legislature is paying attention to. The Democrat-controlled Maine legislature just rigged all future presidential elections on behalf of their party. The plan that they just passed, and which Democrat Governor Janet Mills says she’ll allow to become law, will mean that people don’t even have to vote in presidential elections in Maine. The state will just award its four electoral votes to the Democrat every time.
It also means that the Democrats just took one electoral vote away from Donald Trump in 2024, and possibly four votes.
Maine and Nebraska are the two states that split their electoral votes in every presidential election. In Nebraska, the Republican always wins four votes and the Democrat wins one. In Maine, the Democrat wins three electoral votes and the Republican wins one. The Nebraska GOP is considering changing its apportionment model to winner-takes-all. This decision by Maine should help them make up their mind.
Under the new law in Maine, the state’s four electoral votes will be automatically awarded to the winner of the national popular vote. Even if Donald Trump wins a majority of votes in Maine this November (which he is amazingly projected to do), the state will award its four electoral votes to Joe Biden if he wins the popular vote. The voters in Maine can simply go f*** themselves from now on.
This doesn’t even sound vaguely constitutional. The people in the rest of the country will decide the outcome of the vote in Maine? Sadly, that’s what’s going to happen this November unless a federal court intervenes. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.
This is especially frustrating when you realize that Donald Trump has been polling much higher than Joe Biden in Maine this year. For at least the past two months, Trump has had a +6 projected margin of victory in Maine in every poll. He’s outside the margin of error and therefore, he was likely to become the first Republican to win Maine in a presidential election since George HW Bush in 1988.
That’s obviously got the Democrats in charge of the Maine legislature panicking, so they had to do away with this whole “democracy” thing. If the voters won’t choose Democrats every time in every election, then they’ll just have to do away with voting.
By switching to a national popular vote model, Democrats in Maine no longer have to worry about what their own pesky voters want. They can just rely on Democrat strongholds like California and New York to pump enough fake ballots into the system for the Democrat to always win. It’s kind of scary to think that most Democrat voters are okay with this. If we had Saddam Hussein-style elections in this country, in which the Democrats get 99% of the vote every time, they’d be fine with that.
Something that we have to keep in mind this year is that the Democrats are working just as hard to cheat in 2024 as we are working to shore up our elections. We’ve had a lot of victories in a lot of states which will prevent a repeat of 2020. Georgia and Wisconsin’s elections will be more secure this year, and Texas is at no risk of becoming a blue state just yet because of the efforts of Attorney General (and possible future president) Ken Paxton. Meanwhile, the Democrats are working to stamp out the last vestiges of democracy in any way that they can.
For example, the voters in Huntington Beach, CA, just voted to require voter ID in all elections. The measure won by 53%. The Attorney General of California immediately swooped in with a lawsuit to try to crush the will of the voters in Huntington Beach, using all the usual excuses.
“Blacks are too stupid to get an ID and you’ll disenfranchise them!”
We really hope that Nebraska lawmakers notice what Maine just did. The Democrats there just took an electoral vote away from Republicans in every future presidential election. Nebraska’s legislature could at least balance that out by switching to a winner-takes-all model, thus taking a vote away from the Democrats. And unlike Maine’s version, Nebraska would still be allowing their voters’ ballots to count.
