The political landscape
Nebraska is a strongly Republican farm and rail state that allocates electoral votes by congressional district, which keeps the Omaha-based district nationally relevant. Its unicameral, officially nonpartisan legislature is unique in the country.
Its largest population centers include Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island. Where a state's people live, and what those places do for a living, is the starting point for how Electorate HQ simulations reason about it.
