Nebraska Lawmakers Block Trump-Backed Changes to Electoral System

A proposal to switch Nebraska to a “winner-take-all” Electoral College system, supported by former President Trump, Governor Jim Pillen, and Senator Pete Ricketts, failed a crucial procedural vote on Wednesday.

This change would align Nebraska’s Electoral College vote distribution with most of the country, potentially giving Trump an additional vote in future elections. Led by State Sen.

Julie Slama, the amendment to attach the bill to unrelated legislation faced significant opposition and fell short of the necessary support.

During the debate, concerns were raised about the bill’s partisan nature, with accusations of attempting to sneak it into unrelated proceedings.

Despite conservative activists’ optimism, prospects for the bill dimmed after the vote, with acknowledgment that it lacked sufficient backing to avoid a Democratic filibuster, The Hill has reported.
