He and Biden won Nebraska's 2nd district, the greater Omaha area, giving the Democrats one of Nebraska's 5 electoral votes. This is the first time since the Johnson v. Goldwater election of 1964 that any of Nebraska's electoral votes have gone to a Democrat. ======== Obama Wins Electoral Vote in Nebraska By Christopher Hass - Nov 8th, 2008 at 2:31 pm EST Alone among all other states, Nebraska and Maine use a tiered system for awarding electoral votes, in which a single elector is awarded based on votes within each Congressional district and two electors are awarded to the winner of the statewide popular vote. Yesterday, the Omaha World-Herald announced: For the first time ever, a blue circle will appear in Nebraska on national electoral maps. ... ... John Berge, state director for the Obama campaign ... said the victory was a tribute to all the work done by staffers and the hundreds of Obama volunteers who manned telephones and walked neighborhoods in the Omaha metropolitan area. ... The Nebraska results give Obama 365 electoral votes to John McCain's 162. Only Missouri and its 11 electoral votes remain undecided. ================ |
