Small subtlety: Maine (4 electors) and Nebraska (5 electors) allocate their electors according to different legislative constituencies.
So, as the website 270towin.com explains, in Maine “the winner of the statewide popular vote gets two electors, while one elector is awarded to the winner of each district [deux districts en tout, NDLR]“.
In Nebraska there are two statewide electors plus three districts each containing one electorate.
