Trump has close to zero chance of winning Colorado, but the way Maine splits its electoral votes could have some effect.

Maine elections official disqualifies Trump from presidential primary ballot


Shenna Bellows was one of Biden’s four electors in 2020.


Maine’s presidential electors for Biden are: Jay Philbrick (Congressional District 1), David Bright (at large) and Sen. Shenna Bellows (at large). Maine’s presidential elector for Trump is Peter LaVerdiere (Congressional District 2).”

I hope you're right.

That's not my understanding.

My understanding is that the rules of whether it would count or not (irrespective of thew specific Colorado case) are up to each state (no the party)...so in some states a write in would have to have 'prior registration' for the vote to count, and in some states not. IIRC, the ration is about 2 to 1 with the 2 = states where 'prior registration' is required for the vote to count.

You know what the poster means. Why be pedantic?

This is absolutely embarassing for Colorado. Trump has every right to be on the ballot.

If these states do not want to participate in legal elections maybe we should release them to their own devices.

This is your answer. Enough of those states that require registration for the vote to count would make all the rest a moot point because then there would not be nearly enough to capture the electoral college. So as I said they will not count.

Except that's not what you said.

The two end up having the same effective result, but that doesn't make them the same thing.

Not counting at all (in any state), and not counting enough of the time in numbers great enough to make a difference (because fewer states don't have a preregistration requirement) are two different things.
