Congressional District Apportionment
Maine is one of two U.S. states that splits its electoral votes. Two of the four votes go to the candidate who wins the popular vote in the state; the other two votes are apportioned based on the vote within the state's two congressional districts. In practice, the system has resulted in one candidate receiving all four votes since it was enacted in 1972.Bangor Daily News: Why Maine Splits its Electoral Votes (October 27, 2008)Other Maine Races
