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] Maine .[ 3] Winner-take-all system without success. Proposals to institute winner-take-all passed theNebraska Legislature in 1995 and 1997 but were vetoed by Democratic governorBen Nelson . In 2016, an effort to institute winner-take-all failed after two Republicans switched their vote at the last minute.[ 4] Donald Trump , was attempted in 2024.[ 5] [ 6] [ 7]
Nebraska is a predominantlyRepublican state, making it a rare occurrence for aDemocrat to win the state in its entirety. Since 1940, the Democratic Party has only secured the full slate of electoral votes once—during the1964 election , when President Lyndon B. Johnson achieved alandslide victory on the national scale.[ 8] Nebraska's 2nd congressional district .[ 9] [ 10] [ 11]
