"Nebraska Republicans Reject Trump's Electoral Vote Proposal"
TL;DR Summary
Nebraska's Republican-controlled state legislature rejected a procedural motion to adopt a winner-take-all system for presidential elections, a proposal backed by Donald Trump and Governor Jim Pillen. The legislation, which would have given all five of the state's Electoral College votes to the top performing candidate, was blocked, with GOP state Senator Julie Slama failing to garner enough support for the motion. Democratic state Senator John Fredrickson celebrated the vote as a win for the power of the people in Nebraska, while bill sponsor Senator Loren Lippincott expressed determination to continue pushing the legislation in the future.
