It's not often a Democrat presidential candidate can say they won a electoral college vote in Nebraska. The state is deep red. Bill Clinton famously left it until the very end of his eight year Presidential tenure before he visited it.
Maine and Nebraska are the only two US states that apportion their electoral college votes dependent on the proportion of votes cast for the candidates in each congressional district. A novel and refreshing idea! Perhaps some of the other states could follow suit?
The count in Nebraska's second congressional district has now finished and Obama won. So he gets one Nebraskan electoral college vote.
