31. Didn't Biden win NE-2 by a fairly comfortable margin?

I recall it being like 6 points, certainly closer than MI, WI and PA. I was under the impression it has a lot of those suburban “soccer moms” who really don’t like Trump. If AZ puts abortion on the ballot in November I also like our chances there.

Regardless, NE-2 should be given heavy attention. Every electoral vote matters. In the 2000 election if the Gore campaign had been better at math they would have realized that with NM and NH they would not have needed FL (Gore actually won NM but the margin was even narrower than FL).

Even if Biden wins WI, PA, MI, VA, NH, CO, and NM, it still may well come down to NE-2. Celerity Mar 14 #24

First of all, there is no reason for what you suggest to happen. Nevada isn't going to flip. Demsrule86 Mar 14 #25

Way too early to call the final results, but Maine needs to stop splitting EVs, as my scenario with it coming down to Celerity Mar 14 #26
