Why the electoral college map could change right before the election

The road to clinching 270 delegates, for either candidate, will likely come down to a handful of states.

Summary

The Podcast explains that Nebraska is considering changing its electoral college system to a winner-take-all method, which would give the Republican candidate an extra electoral vote. This move is particularly significant because the election is expected to be close. Maine, which also has a system that splits electoral votes, had threatened to implement a winner-take-all system in response to Nebraska's proposed change. However, Maine's deadline for changing its system has passed, leaving Nebraska free to implement its change without any repercussions from Maine.
