The Daily Signal reports that Maine, which joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact in 2024, is poised to become the first state to withdraw, as Rep. Barbara Bagshaw's bill to exit passed the House and heads to the Senate. The compact's 17 participating states hold 209 of the 270 electoral votes needed, with Bagshaw saying membership undermined Maine's district-split system and Rep. Arthur Bell countering that the Electoral College leads candidates to ignore Maine.
