Defending the Electoral College since 2009
The National Popular Vote campaign has targeted Maine and its four electoral votes for years. Now a new bill has been introduced in the state House of Representatives (LD1578). If passed, it would give away Maine's electoral votes (based on the nationwide popular vote.) This would give voters in other states, particularly California (where NPV is based), almost total control of Maine’s electoral votes.
A National Popular Vote bill previously passed the Maine Senate in 2019 but was defeated in the House of Representatives. Since then, NPV lobbyists have been active in the state trying to gain support for the compact.

Time is running out
There is a real, immediate threat to the constitutional way we elect our president. National Popular Vote is 77% of the way to implementing their dangerous plan.
