Just curious: how were the votes of Maine and Nebraska divided?

[question everything]

Maine has four electoral votes, one for Whinny Donny the other to Biden. How did they decide who would vote for whom? Are the electors decided before the general elections? what if all four voted for Biden on Nov. 3rd?

Inquiring minds want to know...

1. They award the votes by congressional district

instead of giving them to the winner for the entire state.

[question everything]

3. Yes, but how do they decide who would cast the one for Trump?

At least, I think they called each one by name..

2. Maine divides its EC votes by congressional district

Plus 2 statewide

[question everything]

4. I did not watch the proceedings but I think that all were called individually by names

Say the electors were Tom, Dick, Harry and Bill. How did they decide who would vote for whom?

And what if all four of them voted for Biden on Nov. 3rd?

7. it does not quite work that way.

each party designates ahead of time a pool of electors. In this case Biden won three and Trump one so we send three of ours to cast for Biden and the gop send one.

[question everything]

8. Oh, OK. Thanks. I tend to be too literal
