Kansas being more Democratic than Nebraska could be attributed to Kansas being slightly more diverse than Nebraska. Kansas is 83% white, while Nebraska is 86% white. For most recent presidential elections, that would explain the disparity between the two states.

Perhaps increased Democratic turnout in urban areas accounts for why Nebraska was more Democratic than Kansas in 2008. NE-02, the one congressional district that President Obama won in the state, included Omaha.
