I know about Maine, but what's the second state?
- also, as long as not almost all 50 states are in it, I don't see much change. Voting third party in Maine still can reasonably be percieved as a wasted vote that hurts the main party closer to the voter's heart in nation-wide elections. Even if they'd gain an elector in a presidential race.
