Since its admission to statehood in 1867, Nebraska has participated in every U.S. presidential election. Since 1992 Nebraska awards two electoral votes based on the statewide vote, and one vote for each of the three congressional districts.[1][2] The only other state to allow for split electoral college votes is Maine.[3] Republicans in Nebraska have attempted to switch the state back to the Winner-take-all system without success. Proposals to institute winner-take-all passed the Nebraska Legislature in 1995 and 1997 but were vetoed by Democratic governor Ben Nelson. In 2016, an effort to institute winner-take-all failed after two Republicans switched their vote at the last minute.[4] A renewed push for winner-take-all, with support from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, was attempted in 2024.[5][6][7]

Nebraska is a predominantly Republican state, making it a rare occurrence for a Democrat to win the state in its entirety. Since 1940, the Democratic Party has only secured the full slate of electoral votes once—during the 1964 election, when President Lyndon B. Johnson achieved a landslide victory on the national scale.[8] However, in more recent elections, the Democratic Party has been able to capture a single electoral vote from Nebraska's 2nd congressional district.[9][10] Democrats have nicknamed the district the blue dot from its depiction on electoral maps surrounded by red states.[11]
