In the United States, most states award all their presidential electoral votes to the candidate who wins the statewide popular vote. However, Nebraska and Maine have distinct rules that set them apart from the rest of the country.
Nebraska, with three congressional districts and five total electoral votes, and Maine, with two congressional districts and four total electoral votes, employ a different method. Both states allocate two electoral votes to the statewide winner and one electoral vote to the popular vote winner in each congressional district.
