>>Maine is one of two states (Nebraska is the other) whose electoral votes are not winner-take-all.

No. Sorry if I misunderstood. I was checking CNN.com's interactive map throughout the evening and saw vote counts that seemed reasonable. The only thing that confused me for a while was the % of votes counted was not in the little popup window but below it and to the left.
