Former President Donald Trump and his allies are pushing for Nebraska lawmakers to alter the state's method of allocating electoral college votes, highlighting the potential significance of the upcoming presidential election rematch with President Joe Biden.
The proposed change would shift Nebraska to a winner-take-all system for electoral votes, replacing the current system that divides votes between statewide winners and winners of congressional districts. The initiative gained momentum following a recent push by prominent Republicans, including conservative activist Charlie Kirk and Republican Governor Jim Pillen.
