Maine Dems weigh winner-take-all switch if Nebraska changes EC

TL;DR Summary
Democrats in Maine are floated to switch to a winner-take-all presidential electoral vote allocation if Nebraska adopts the same method, since both states currently award votes by congressional district; several Maine gubernatorial contenders have signaled openness to reform, arguing it's necessary amid national debates over the presidency and democracy. Nebraska Republicans debated but did not pass a change last year; if both states switch, the effects would largely offset each other, though the Maine governor's race could shape appetite for reform.
