Nebraska awards their electoral votes using the Congressional District Method. That means the winner of each congressional district receives one electoral vote.
Cook Political Report rates Nebraska’s 2nd as an even district. It has been represented by a Republican in Congress since 2017, but Joe Biden won it in 2020, and thus received their one electoral vote. In a close election, that one vote could be critical.
If Vice President Kamala Harris were to win the swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, but lose Arizona, Nevada and Georgia, that would leave us 269 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 268.
In that scenario, the winner of Nebraska’s second congressional district wins the election.
