"Nebraska's Electoral Vote Battle: Trump's Plan and Legislative Hits"

Efforts to change Nebraska's Electoral College vote allocation to a winner-take-all system, backed by Donald Trump and conservative activist Charlie Kirk, faced a setback as the legislature announced it would no longer accept amendments attaching entire bills to other measures due to time constraints. The state's unicameral legislature, where Republicans hold a filibuster-proof majority, is running out of time to process legislation before the session ends on April 18. Despite the legislative path appearing closed, GOP Gov. Jim Pillen could still call a special session to address the issue, but faces challenges as proponents lack support from 33 legislators necessary to overcome a filibuster.
