"Nebraska Republicans Push for Winner-Take-All Electoral System to Deny Biden Crucial Vote"

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump and Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen are backing a bill to change Nebraska's electoral vote system to a winner-take-all format, potentially denying Democrats a crucial electoral vote. The move comes after conservative activist Charlie Kirk urged Republicans to repeal the state's current system, which assigns electors based on congressional districts. The Omaha-based 2nd District has voted Democratic in 2008 and 2020, making it a target for the GOP. Democrats in Nebraska are skeptical of the bill's passage, but the effort reflects a broader trend of Republican-led efforts to tweak election rules ahead of the upcoming elections.
