Maine’s legal sports betting hopes have been cruelly dashed once again as the state’s legislators failed to override their governor’s veto of betting legislation.

Tuesday saw Maine’s House of Representatives vote 85-57 in favor of overriding Gov. Janet Mills veto in January of the LD553 sports betting bill the state’s legislature had approved last summer. But overriding the veto required the support of 2/3 of each of the state’s legislative chambers, meaning 95 House members needed to vote ‘aye’, so this is a proper ve-no.

Last week, Maine’s state senate managed to achieve that 2/3 benchmark, albeit just barely, by voting 20-10 in favor of telling the good governor just how wrong she was to declare that Maine wasn’t ready to “join the frenzy” of states legalizing sports betting. It was the first time either of the state’s legislative bodies had successfully voted down a Mills’ veto.

Following the senate’s vote, local media reported that Republican senator Lisa Keim, who voted in favor of the override, hadn’t actually meant to vote ‘yes’. According to some other senators, by the time Keim had communicated her mistake to the Senate president, the bill was on its way to the House and, like an intercontinental ballistic missile, couldn’t be recalled.
