Nebraska was allocated 31 delegates to the Democratic National Convention: 24 were allocated based on the results of the primary, with the other seven being unpledged superdelegates.
In order to qualify for delegates, a candidate had to receive at least 15% of the vote statewide or in at least one congressional district. 16 of Nebraska's delegates were allotted among the state's three congressional districts. The remaining eight delegates were allocated based on the statewide popular vote, consisting of three at-large delegates and five pledged PLEOs (party leaders and elected officials).
Results
Having won enough delegates to secure the nomination on Super Tuesday, John Kerry faced only minor opposition from Dennis Kucinich, the only other candidate on the ballot who was still campaigning.Lyman Rick 2004-05-17 Down but Not Out, Kucinich Keeps On Fighting en-US The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/17/us/down-but-not-out-kucinich-keeps-on-fighting.html 2023-11-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20230516211548/https://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/17/us/down-but-not-out-kucinich-keeps-on-fighting.html 2023-05-16 0362-4331 Kerry won over 72% of the vote and netted all 24 of the state's pledged delegates.
