WASHINGTON (AP) — Nebraska votes solidly Republican in statewide elections, but will nonetheless be closely watched in the presidential race on Election Day. It’s one of two states that doesn’t award all of its Electoral College votes to the winner of the statewide popular vote. Instead, the winner statewide gets two of Nebraska’s five votes, and its one a piece for the winner in each of the state’s three congressional districts. That means Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris has a shot at picking up an Electoral College vote in a state last carried by a Democrat when Lyndon B. Johnson won it in 1964.
