"Nebraska Legislators Resist Trump's Push to Change Electoral Vote System"

TL;DR Summary
Nebraska legislators rejected a late effort to change the state's Electoral College vote allocation to a winner-take-all system, despite pressure from former President Donald Trump. The proposal, which would likely benefit Trump, failed in a procedural vote and faces serious hurdles as the legislative session nears its end. The current system allocates three of the state's five electoral votes based on congressional district wins. Efforts to change the allocation have attracted attention from both Republican and Democratic figures, with the fate of the proposal remaining uncertain.
