3. Biden won the second district

4. They divide up their electoral votes.

5. They're one of 2 states that don't give all of their electoral votes to the state winner...

NE has 5 EVs.

4 went to Trump
1 went to Biden.

Maine is the other state.
Biden won 3 EVs
Trump won 1.

6. Biden won NE-2

District 2. They award 1 EV per district, similar to Maine.

9. Split electoral votes

2nd District (Omaha) voted Biden

10. Maine and Nebraska have 2 Congressional districts where the votes can be split between Parties. nt

11. Maine is like that too, I think.

[KewlKat]

12. Because it breaks up the monotony of solid red and solid blue.

13. Don't know the details, but Nebraska divides their 4 electoral votes in some way

And Maine divides their two.
