GOP/Trump has made some overtures to targeting the Maine 2nd as well.

Makes sense. The Nebraska delegation got a cushy spot on the floor too.

Can someone explain a split electoral college vote?
Breaks the tie breaker if it happens in veep
Hillary literally represents the status quo
Sorry, being dense. Can you explain.
Didn't Obama snag that in 08? Could make up the potential Maine loss.
Damn, she's going for it.

wait how would that work, and why
Nebraska (and Maine) allocate two electors to the statewide winner and one each to the winner of each congressional district.

In this case, the status quo means steadily moving forward progressive ideals, so that's fine with me.

I was about to break yesterday when Trayvon Martin's mother and Sandra Bland and Jordan Davis were on stage. Stronger than I'll fuckin ever be.
Wait, it's 2 degrees by 2100? I thought the lower limit was 4-7 degrees as of now.

Maine and Nebraska give their electoral votes out by Congressional District winner and overall winner, not winner-take-all like the other 48 states and DC. Hillary would be the most competitive in Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District, where Omaha is.

Two states allow for electoral votes to be distributed if you win a particular congressional district: Maine and Nebraska. Only those two states. In Maine you can win the state (get 3) but if you win one of the congressional districts you get 1. In Kansas, if you win the state you get 3, but you can also win 2 votes from 2 different districts.
So, hedging against an electoral tie?
Didn't Obama win Nebraska's 2nd twice? Why wouldn't Hillary?
Bad news?

Yeah, shocked.
I was watching it the past days and it was like the referees thought they were the reason I was watching.
It was a joke.
This is more like it.

Not at all.
It means she feels confident enough to spend a bit of time in a state fighting for an electoral vote she doesn't really need. Plus, it's one day.
He won it in 2008, but Nebraska redrew their lines in time to make 2012 a bit too difficult.
This is confidence on the part of Team Clinton. And Omaha's media market bleeds-over into western Iowa.
Thanks, makes sense I guess.

Angela Bassett is bad 
He won it once, in 2008, by just 3,320 votes, lost it in 2012 by about 7% to Romney. They must think they have a chance this time, OR, that every electoral vote will count.

Obama lost it in 2012 by 7 points.
Hillary's campaign is intelligent enough to allocate resources appropriately, so they must have internal polling that shows it's worthwhile to spend some time there.

They lost it in 12 because it was redrawn, but Omaha has largely outgrown its suburbs that are within NE-02, meaning that it's good to target.
My guess is that they're going to after every electoral vote they can. What makes this notable is that besides North Carolina, this is the first place that Romney won that Hillary is campaigning in for the GE, meaning she's placing offense, not that much defense.

He won the 2nd once, but a Dem hasn't won Nebraska outright since the LBJ landslide and even that was an aberration.
