In addition to drawing Congressional and State Legislative districts, states also have the power to set their own rules for allocating Electoral College votes for President; states initially let legislatures vote for President, but now 48 states (excluding Maine and Nebraska) give all of their EC votes to the candidate who wins the most popular votes in their state. Maine and Nebraska give one vote for the winner of each Congressional district, plus two EC votes for theoverall winner in the state. (Note that The EC vote in these states has only been split once, when Barack Obama won Nebraska's 2nd District in 2008, but lost the rest of the state.) State legislatures originally had the power to elect Senators, as well. The Seventeenth Amendment introduced popular election of Senators.
