the backdrop to this was that in 1854, congress had enacted a law called the kansas nebraska act, which had repealed the missouri compromise, and had said that slavery would be possible in the kansas and nebraska territories. through the concept called popular sovereignty. basically, when these territories wanted to join the union as a state, the citizens of the territory could vote whether or not they wanted to legalize slavery. and so you had all kinds of slaveholders from missouri who flocked to kansas trying to make kansas a slave state. and lots of abolitionists, especially from from ohio, who flocked to kansas, hoping to make kansas an abolitionist state. so the pro-slavery kansas constitution is before the house. it is a bitter, bitter debate and it quickly becomes clear that the process slavery side does not have a majority on the floor as part of this political realignment that i had mentioned earlier, the northern wing of the democratic party collapses after the passage of the kansas-nebraska act, and by 1857, a majority of the house is at the very least suspicious of the idea

i was wondering, what's stopping all states from counting their electoral votes like maine and nebraska where it's gone by congressional district nevada a winner take all vote? guest: great question. and this is where it's really helpful to keep in mind that we think we're running a national election for presidency but we're not. we're running 51 independent elections and they're different by states about ballot access, about how long polls stay open, early balloting. every variable out there, according to how states run their elections, are decided by the states. and the states you mentioned, maine and nebraska, have decided that they're going to allocate their electoral college differently. where it's by congressional district rather than a winner take all system where if you get the most votes in your state, you win. and so we might see a movement towards that direction to kind of give more states some flexibility or at least create more buy-in for voting where they don't already know right now who is going to win the election in 2028. but right now only those states do it. but if yo
