Its interesting that you use Nebraska as your example because in Nebraska they actually do have a slightly different approach to the electoral college. You see Nebraska has only 3 votes, but they can be divided among different candidates based upon who wins each district. While the small number of votes and the intensely conservative nature of the state make this change a moot point here, I do think that this is a great idea for allowing third parties more representation and as a way to more fairly distribute votes to mainstream candidates.
