The Los Angeles Times reports today from rural Maine, though the dateline is Bangor, population 31,000. The headline for Janet Hooks' story is "Trump and Biden wage a big battle over one electoral vote in rural Maine." Here's an excerpt:
Maine is getting an outsized share of Trump love these days.And Joe Biden is paying attention to this corner of Maine, too. Why?
The president visited a remote town of 1,500 in June. His son and daughter-in-law, Eric and Lara Trump, have stumped in the state. A lobsterman from tiny Swan’s Island spoke at the Republican National Convention in August.
In a quirk of the presidential selection process, Maine is one of only two states — Nebraska is the other — that awards one of its electoral college votes to the winner of each congressional district, instead of handing them out winner-take-all statewide.
This year, Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, the vast rural region north of Augusta, is up for grabs. Trump won it in 2016 by 10 percentage points even as he lost the rest of the state by a wide margin.
