how to solve a difficult problem like Nebraska

[PRESIDENT STANTON]

To all those who post maps, can anyone solve this problem, if one wants to reduce Nebraska's electoral vote from 5 to 4, is there a way to do it? As Nebraska has there electoral vote allocated by congressional district.

Change the year to 1964 and edit it manually.

[PRESIDENT STANTON]

tried that formula, but it wont allow you to manually change the number from 5 to 4, any other state allows it, but not Nebraska

Maybe you're doing it wrong. I mean, this code:

(and removing the enters, of course)

So if you were to change the year (2016) to 1964, you'd get this:

Obviously, you don't want Nebraska and Maine to only have 2 EVs. So you change the second number following "ME" and "NE" to 4 and 5, respectively.

But as you said, you want Nebraska only to have 4 EVS, so change that number to a 4.

Voila.

Yep, right on the money! Thanks for that bit of info, handy & good to know, wish that could be accomplished with the congressional allocation, though. Thanks for going to all that trouble, to demonstrate what you were described, much obliged.

1968 is the last year that didn't involve congressional districts voting on their own, for the record.
