Taking this point of confusion from RPF

From Maine Sec of State on write-in presidential candidates:

"HOW ARE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS NOMINATED?

Presidential Electors are the people who actually elect the President of the United States. When voters go to the polls on Election Day, they cast a vote for who they would like to see as President. This is called the “popular vote”. The popular vote is used to choose “electors” – these are the people who are nominated to cast votes for President and Vice-President of the United States. Voters choose the electors and the electors choose the President.
The number of Electoral College votes allotted to each state is determined by adding up the members of the United States Congress who are elected from that state. Maine has two U.S. Senators and two U.S. Representatives, for a total of four members of Congress. Therefore, Maine also gets four Electoral College votes.

A write-in candidate must name the candidate’s four electors when the Declaration of Write-in Candidacy is submitted. In the group of four electors, one must be from the First Congressional District, one must be from the Second Congressional District and two are chosen at-large. Each elector must file a written consent with the Secretary of State. "

Like the guy said in RPF maybe someone oughta call Maine elections and get it straight. I think a candidate declaration is needed.
