Nebraska hasn't supported a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964 and Grant County hasn't since 1936, Duggan and Robb write. Grant County Clerk Christee Haney said 600 of the county's 640 registered voters are Republican, but questioned whether the other 40 are "Democrats in their hearts.” (World-Herald map: How Nebraska voted in the presidential election)
