Point of correction: Nebraska and Maine have congressional-district based [1] EV counts (in fact Obama won 1 point in Nebraska - basically Omaha in 2008).

Yep, that's a known implementation gap, there was no simple way to implement it, do skipped it, will work on finding a solution, thanks

The historical maps don't take reapportionment into account. For example, if you select "2008: Obama vs McCain," it shows Texas with 38 electoral votes, but it had only 34 back then. Also, Reagan's name is misspelled.

Good point, may be I should disable displaying electoral count for historical maps until actual numbers are implemented, thanks
