What makes them special?

Their individual State election laws.

This isn’t a training forum.

Maine and Nebraska have laws which allow those states to split their electoral votes.

The Constitution. They can set up their votes however they want.

You can do a quick search to see how that works. To be honest, I think every state should do the same thing Maine and Nebraska do when it comes to allocating electoral votes.

I don’t get it. Why do only partial votes from Nebraska and Maine go toward each candidate instead of winner take all? What makes them special?

According to the US Constitution, the states choose their electors however they decide. The governor can select them if they want. There's nothing in the constitution about "voting" or "democracy" or "one man, one vote" or any of that business.

The Nebraska model makes sense...if you understand the construction of the Electoral Vote model.

What made them special, is them.

Each state gets to decide how it will choose electors. Those two have decided to allocate them according to congressional districts.
