View Nebraska counties →Download CSV All state notes

File: NE.csv (all 93 counties). Columns: d = Democratic, r = Republican, o = all other U.S. House votes. Two counties are split between districts in both years, and each row sums both districts: Sarpy (NE-1 and NE-2) and Polk (NE-1 and NE-3).

Sources

2022 (certified): Nebraska Secretary of State, 2022 General Canvass Book (PDF, pages 10–12, "Member of the U.S. House of Representatives", county rows): https://sos.nebraska.gov/sites/default/files/doc/elections/2022/2022%20General%20Canvass%20Book.pdf
2026 (unofficial): Nebraska Secretary of State results site (https://electionresults.nebraska.gov/resultsSW.aspx?type=CG&map=DIST). County-level data comes from the site's own web service: https://neresultswebservice.azurewebsites.us/ResultsAjax.svc/GetMapData?type=CG&category=CTY&raceID=<13165|13166|13167>&osn=103&county=0&party=0 (districts 1, 2, 3). As of: fetched 2026-11-10 02:31–02:32 UTC (Nov 9, 9:31 pm ET). All precincts are reported as fully in (438/438, 334/334, 639/639). The county rows sum exactly to the district totals shown on the SOS page.
Cross-check: CNN (https://politics.api.cnn.io/results/county-races/2026-HG-NE-<n>.json, extracted 02:20 UTC) agrees on every county except Cuming and Richardson, where CNN is 23 R / 6 D and 39 R / 12 D higher. CNN statewide: D 310,864, R 404,619.

Validation

Year	Column	Our sum	Reference	Diff
2022	D	235,572	235,572 (FEC)	0
2022	R	414,599	414,599	0
2022	Other	13,016	13,016	0
2026	D	310,846	302,239 (Nov 9 6:10 pm ET)	+8,607
2026	R	404,557	398,996	+5,561
2026	Other	37,595	(not reported)	—

2022 matches exactly. The 2026 gap is large, but our total is not over-counted. It equals the SOS's own district totals (D 118,135 + 143,785 + 48,926; R 127,001 + 103,494 + 174,062), every precinct shows fully reported, and CNN independently shows about the same numbers. The national aggregate therefore looks stale or incomplete for Nebraska, but we could not find out why. The latest county update in CNN's data (Nov 9 20:42 UTC, NE-1) came before the 6:10 pm ET reference time, so late counting does not explain it.

Districts without a D or R candidate

2022: none. NE-1 Flood (R) and Pansing Brooks (D). NE-2 Bacon (R) and Vargas (D). NE-3 Smith (R), Else (D), Elworth (Legal Marijuana NOW).
2026: none. NE-1 Flood (R), Backemeyer (D), Sandman (L), Hartong (America First). NE-2 Harding (R), Powell (D), Foreman (L). NE-3 Smith (R), Stille (D), Else (LMN), Budke (Nebraska Working People), Cohen (By Petition).

Caveats

2026 numbers are unofficial until the state canvass.
2022: NE-1 and NE-2 had no minor candidates, and the canvass lists no write-ins, so o22 = 0 for counties wholly in those districts.
Note that David J. Else was the 2022 NE-3 Democrat but ran in 2026 as Legal Marijuana NOW.

These notes record where each number came from and how it was checked. 2026 figures are unofficial. See the methodology and disclaimer.
