Maine Reverses Itself Again on Popular Vote Proposal

“The Democratic-led Maine House of Representatives rejected a bill on Monday to join an interstate effort to turn the Electoral College into a majority way to elect presidents in a second reversal on the measure that will kill it barring another flip,” the Bangor Daily News reports.

“The proposal from Senate President Troy Jackson (D) passed the Senate in mid-May and had been seesawing between passage and rejection in the lower chamber during the past month amid opposition from Republicans gearing up to back the 2020 re-election campaign of Donald Trump, the fifth president to be elected while losing the popular vote.”
