The winner of each state’s popular vote wins all of a state’s Electoral College votes. Only in Maine (ME) and Nebraska (NE) apportion their Electoral College votes differently. Here, each of the states’ two Congressional districts is given one Electoral College vote. That leaves two for the winner of Maine’s overall vote winner, and three for the winner of Nebraska’s overall vote winner.
