Nebraska is one of two states that doesn't award Electoral College votes on a winner-take-all basis.

The winner of the popular vote in the state gets two votes and the other three are divided by the winner in each of the state's congressional districts.

On Saturday , Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz held a 1,400 -person rally in the 2nd District -- the Democratic -leaning area around Omaha , or “blue dot” -- that could deliver the Kamala Harris-Walz ticket one decisive Electoral College vote.

Former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard campaigned for former President Donald Trump .

All eyes on Nebraska as Senate , House races heat up.

State Rep. Tony Vargas is running as a Democrat in the 2nd District.

Independent Dan Osborn is being quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) backed by the party over incumbent Republican Sen. Deb Fischer .
