Nebraska Keeps Current Electoral Vote System
News summary

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has announced that he will not call a special legislative session to change the state’s method of allocating electoral votes to a winner-take-all system. This decision follows Republican State Senator Mike McDonnell's refusal to support the change, leaving proponents without the necessary votes to overcome a filibuster. The current system awards two electoral votes to the statewide winner and one to the winner of each congressional district. McDonnell's stance has drawn both criticism from former President Donald Trump and praise from Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb. This development is significant as it maintains the possibility of a critical single electoral vote from Nebraska's 2nd District influencing the 2024 presidential election outcome.
