Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen (R) supported a conservative-led effort to award all of the state’s electors to the presidential candidate who wins statewide.
Nebraska has long been a Republican stronghold, but like Maine, the state’s system for awarding electoral votes is in line with other states across the country by awarding votes based on House districts rather than winner-take-all. It has been in conflict with the region. -Statewide Popular Vote. In theory, a presidential candidate could lose one electoral vote even if he wins the state if his opponent wins a congressional district like Omaha.

“I have been a strong supporter of Sen. Lippincott’s winner-take-all bill (LB 764) from the beginning, which would bring Nebraska in line with the other 48 states, better reflect our founding intent, and ensure that the President “It will give Nebraska a unified voice in elections,” he said. “I call on Republicans in Congress to bring this bill to my desk and sign it into law.”

With Pillen’s support, the bill will likely pass both the state House and the state Senate and go into effect before the November 2024 presidential election.
