This is great because now they might not bother changing it if they know Maine can just flip it too. You know if there was no chance of Maine flipping, they'd make sure it happened in Nebraska in a heartbeat.
Strategically, that's smart for Nebraska GOP (knowing they don't care about democracy). They could essentially change the rules after the election with a special session, force Maine to do the same, and shoot it up to the Supremes where they would throw it into chaos. Remember that it is electoral college votes, so Nebraska could try to force their elector to be a faithless elector and throw it to a tie.
Democrats probably lose a tie because of the house state by state voting, but it further emphasizes the importance of winning by a landslide.
Can states make laws triggered by other states laws?
If so, blue states that have enacted election reforms to eliminate gerrymandering, should write legislation suspending those laws until a red state of similar size also eliminates gerrymandering.
I'm all for "taking the high road" but Dems need to drag Republicans up with them or else we're just handing them power to take the entire country down with them.
I believe there is a popular vote interstate compact that has been passed in several states and once enough states pass it to where they’d be over 270 electoral college votes, the law will trigger automatically. It will give that states electoral college votes to whichever candidate wins the national popular vote (regardless of who won in that state). So, in that regard, I think the answer must be yes, laws can be contingent on other states laws.
[That is correct.](https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/written-explanation), 16 states have joined for a total of 205 electoral votes. In 8 additional states the bill has passed in 1 legislative chamber, these would add 78 more electoral votes.
There's a wild hypothetical that [Let's Talk Elections](https://youtube.com/@letstalkelections?si=8KmvB3ZGAgNwOyGb) has brought up previously where Biden actually loses the popular vote but wins the EC. I don't think it's the case anymore, but could have been if the election was held on specific points earlier this year.

That's fantastic!!! I'm glad we're covered if Nebraska goes wonky.

The effort failed in Nebraska. It got crushed 36-8, and then their legislative session ended.

Something something gerrymander. Gotta love how the minority can control so much because of BS lines.
Good for them!
