What plan does Maine and Nebraska use?
In U. S. Presidential/ Vice Presidential elections, Maine and Nebraska are the only states that do not appoint their electors on a winner-takes-all basis, in which the winner of a state's popular vote receives 100% of the state's electoral votes. In each of the two states, two electoral votes go to the winner of the popular vote in the whole state, and each additional electoral goes to the winner of the popular vote in each federal congressional district. That reflects each state's number of electors being equal to their number of U. S. Senators, who are elected by statewide vote, plus their number of U. S. Representatives, each of which is elected by one congressional district. Technically, the seven smallest states by population also follow this rule, since each of those states has one representative in the House.
What does maines state motto mean?
"Dirigo"(Latin "I direct" or "I lead") is the state motto of Maine, having once been the only state to hold its elections in September. (Politicians kept their eyes on these elections for evidence of a trend. Prior to the New Deal, Republicans claimed "As Maine goes, so goes the nation.") The resolutions adopting the seal upon which this motto appears, give some insight into the meaning intended by the state motto: "...as the Polar Star has been considered the mariner's guide and director in conducting the ship over the pathless ocean to the desired haven, and as the center of magnetic attraction; as it has been figuratively used to denote the point, to which all affections turn, and as it is here intended to represent the State, it may be considered the citizens' guide, and the object to which the patriot's best exertions should be directed".The motto has been used for the name of the Dirigo Health Agency which oversees the state of Maine's health care system."Dirigo" or I lead.
