Essentially, it's about circumventing the Electoral College by awarding all electoral votes to the popular vote, something that apparently is widely spread as an idea.

*giggles helplessly* I'm sorry, but there was something perfect about that statement.

Well, to be fair, LePage isn't governor any more; hasn't been for half a year now. If you did that now you'd be kidnapping Janet Mills, who doesn't seem to have done much of anything, but is at least not making national news for announcing that she has three-ring binders full of dossiers on black drug dealers from New York who are coming en masse to Maine and spiking the water with bisphenol esters, or whatever it was he was going on about that time.

(Frankly, I think whatever else is going on, Mills has suffered enough in her life already, having been LePage's AG for years despite being diametrically opposed to him politically and personally. Imagine that's where your career has brought you, being attorney general for a governor who openly defies the law and the state constitution as a matter of course, and gets away with it because his colleagues in the legislature and the electorate think it's cool.)

Anyway, practically speaking, I doubt the people writing that game know or particularly care who the actual governor of Maine is. I'm reasonably sure that to them, it's just a funny joke about an obscure state where nobody they know lives. That's Maine's usual lot in life with popular culture. :)

Oh, no, I know that. I just had this image in my head that, if he had been kidnapped by an Evil Organization back when he WAS, would that IMPROVE things? Or WORSEN things(as in, he'd get it into his head to be an Evil Genius(ok, stretch, but...))

Well, no, Rebellion Games fairly definitively won't have any notable connection to Maine, being thoroughly British(in fact, they own 2000 AD, famed makers of Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper).
