An effort to change Nebraska’s method of awarding its Electoral College votes to a winner-take-all system was soundly rejected by state lawmakers on April 3.
The push, backed by former President Donald Trump, was scuttled by the state’s unicameral Legislature in an 8–36 procedural vote, which would have attached the associated amendment to an unrelated bill. Although Republicans could try to advance the measure again, they have little time to do so in the current legislative session, which ends on April 18.
