An effort to return Nebraska to a winner-take-all presidential elector system failed on final reading…by one vote.
Senator Ernie Chambers of Omaha makes no secret he likes the present system of awarding electors by Congressional district

But, Senator Robert Hilkemann of Omaha argues it makes no sense to retain the current system, since no state has followed Nebraska’s lead

Only Nebraska and Maine split their presidential electoral votes.
