Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is aggressively competing for the state's 2nd Congressional District presidential electoral vote.
Sanders, who is campaigning hard on behalf of Clinton in the closing days of her battle with Republican nominee Donald Trump, defeated Clinton in the Nebraska Democratic presidential caucus in March.
Clinton, in turn, won Nebraska's presidential primary election in May.
Sanders made a campaign stop in Lincoln prior to the caucus, attracting an overflow crowd to the Lied Center composed largely of students.Â
