In U. S. Presidential/ Vice Presidential elections, Maine and Nebraska are the only states that do not appoint their electors on a winner-takes-all basis, in which the winner of a state's popular vote receives 100% of the state's electoral votes. In each of the two states, two electoral votes go to the winner of the popular vote in the whole state, and each additional electoral goes to the winner of the popular vote in each federal congressional district. That reflects each state's number of electors being equal to their number of U. S. Senators, who are elected by statewide vote, plus their number of U. S. Representatives, each of which is elected by one congressional district.
Technically, the seven smallest states by population also follow this rule, since each of those states has one representative in the House.
