The Maine House reversed course and voted to switch to a national popular vote in presidential elections, the Portland Press Herald reports.
“The 77-69 vote in the Maine House came roughly two weeks after the national popular vote bill had failed by a 10-vote margin but after the Maine Senate had reaffirmed its support for the measure. The fate of the bill remains unclear, however, because it faces additional procedural votes in both the House and Senate.”
“The bill would add Maine to the growing list of states pledging to use the national popular vote, rather than the Electoral College system, to choose a president.”
