A pressure campaign led by Donald Trump and Republican allies to alter Nebraska's election law faced a significant setback as State Sen. Mike McDonnell announced he would not support a last-minute attempt to overturn the state's 30-year-old law. The law currently awards electoral votes by congressional district rather than a statewide winner-take-all system.
McDonnell, a former Democrat who recently switched to the GOP, stated that he would not vote to change the law before the upcoming November election. He emphasized that the decision to maintain the current system was crucial, especially so close to Election Day.
