NEBRASKA SPLITS ITS ELECTORAL VOTES.

NEBRASKA SPLITS ITS ELECTORAL VOTES. I have always skipped reading articles which argue for electing the president by popular vote or for electoral college reform. I can’t imagine it happening. I can’t imagine the smaller states voting to approve a constitutional amendment which would reduce their influence. It is possible, however for a state to divide its electoral college vote. Maine and Nebraska do. This year Nebraska split its electoral college votes between McCain and Obama.
