Save on the map both ME and ME2 are blue. If they are voting the same there is no reason toe note them as seperate on the map. if ME2 was red, i would have figured that out witout having to ask. Though I figure its not a good map anyway.
Also remember that it is entirely possible to win the election via electoral votes and not win the popular vote (more or less happened four times so far). The electors can ignore the popular vote, but it can cause legal problems depending on those states laws. Most states winner takes all, which reflects the majority vote...usually (depending on Gerrymandering in some states). While other divide their in other ways.
