SUBJECT: Please support the bipartisan Majority Report (voted the bill "ought to pass"), for LD 252 “ An Act to Withdraw from the National Popular Vote Compact ."
Good morning, Senator/Representative [name],
I urge you to stand with the bipartisan Majority Report on LD 252: “An Act to Withdraw from the National Popular Vote Compact. "
Maine has had a fair and equitable system of distributing our four electoral votes since 1972. This system allows our vastly rural state to have a say in the Presidential election.
This National Popular Vote compact dilutes our state’s say in determining a President, as larger urban population centers will determine a President, and our four electoral votes will be cast accordingly.
Please oppose the Minority Report and it “ought not to pass.”
Thank you.
[Your Name]
[Your Town]
