How are Maine and nebraska contribution to the electoral college different from the other states?
Maine and Nebraska use a unique system for allocating their electoral votes, differing from the winner-takes-all approach used by most states. Both states employ a proportional method, where electoral votes are distributed based on the results of the popular vote within their congressional districts, as well as statewide. This allows for the possibility of splitting electoral votes between candidates, which can influence overall election outcomes more significantly than in states that allocate all votes to the statewide winner.

Most states appoint their electors on a winner-take-all basis, based on the statewide popular vote on Election Day. Maine and Nebraska are the only two current exceptions.

Do all electoral college votes from one state go to one candidate?
The District of Columbia and 48 U.S. states (all except Maine and Nebraska) utilize a winner-takes-all rule for the Electoral College. In a winner-take-all state, all of the state's Electoral votes go to whichever candidate receives a majority of the popular vote, or a plurality of the popular vote (less than 50 percent but more than any other candidate). Maine and Nebraska use the "congressional district method", selecting one elector within each congressional district by popular vote and awarding two electors by a statewide popular vote.

Maine and Nebraska use the "congressional district method", selecting one elector within each congressional district by popular vote and awarding two electors by a statewide popular vote.
