Why it matters: It's the latest example of tit-for-tat election politics that have come to define the Trump era, and that could help determine who wins the race for the White House. Zoom in: Several Democrats running to be Maine's next governor have signaled they would support modifying state law to adopt a "winner take all" electoral vote system in the presidential race if Nebraska did the same. - Unlike other states, Maine and Nebraska dole out their Electoral College votes partly based on the winner of each congressional district. - That's led to GOP presidential…
