Written by Teunis Felter

For the first time in Maine history, voters are poised to split the state’s four Electoral College votes between the top two candidates running for the White House. Republican Donald Trump has a commanding 15-point lead in the state’s northern and more rural 2nd District, while his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton has a 21-point lead in the state’s more urban and southern 1st District.
