That was the only time that Maine split its electoral votes between two candidates in one election.Ironically, Maine is one of only two states that does NOT use the winner-takes-all system of electoral voting; they use the congressional district system, by which only two votes are determined by the statewide popular vote, and each additional vote is determined by the popular vote in each congressional district. The entire time Maine has been using that system, its congressional districts have never voted differently from each other.
