Another factor that may be contributing is Nebraska's unique legislative election system.  The Unicameral is officially nonpartisan, tho in practice it really isn't.  In the more conservative districts, the November election may often be a race between two Republicans, so voters get used to coming to the polls even when it technically doesn't matter, because for them it might for the Unicameral.  Probably a small factor on the order of 0.1 to 0.5%, but I can see where it would have an effect in helping to bring voters to the polls despite Nebraska being safely Republican presidentially.
