You're accusing the Nebraska republicans of hypocrisy on the grounds that they support winner takes all while other republicans in other states have advocated proportional division.

You're saying the Nebraska Democrats are not hypocrites because, while other democrats in other states may favour winner take all, the Nebraska democrats themselves have never said they have done so.

Either standard - judging a party as a whole, or state parties separately - is wholly defensible. But clearly the same one should apply to both parties.
