| And Nebraska is also tricky. Although McCain carried the state, he only won 4 out of its 5 electoral votes. Nebraska (and Maine) are not winner-takes-all states in terms of electoral college votes. For Nebraska, the statewide winner gets 2 electoral votes outright, and then the remaining three votes - which are divided equally among Nebraska's three congressional districts - go to whoever wins in those districts. McCain carried Districts 1 and 3, and Obama carried District 2. 2008 marked the first time Nebraska's electoral college votes were split. |
