Nebraska and Maine are the only states that split their Electoral College votes by district, a system now under scrutiny as Republicans push for a change in Nebraska.
Former President Trump and his allies intensify efforts to switch Nebraska to a winner-take-all system, potentially impacting the tight race against Biden.
Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen considers calling a special legislative session to change the electoral system, facing resistance from Democrats and legal uncertainties.
The change could tip the balance in a close presidential race, making Nebraska's single electoral vote from the Omaha-based 2nd District crucial.
Efforts in Maine to counteract Nebraska's potential change remain muted, with no significant moves by Democrats to shift to a winner-take-all system.
