17. Nebraska, I think.

It's the one with more than one House District that allocates Electoral votes according to District votes and at-large votes.

On edit: It's Nebraska and Maine that split their Electoral votes according to the votes in the Congressional Districts.

In Maine and Nebraska the 2 at-large electoral votes go to the winner of the statewide popular vote. In addition, the presidential candidate with the highest popular vote in each of the state's Congressional Districts wins 1 electoral vote from that particular district. Maine has been doing this since the 1972 presidential election. Nebraska is a newcomer to this "districting" system of allocating electoral votes to the presidential candidates in the November General Election- having had this in place only beginning with the 1996 election.
