Nebraska state Sen. Mike McDonnell, a Democrat-turned-Republican, said he won’t support switching the state’s electoral vote process to winner-take-all, denying a critical vote needed to implement the change.
“Elections should be an opportunity for all voters to be heard, no matter who they are, where they live, or what party they support,” McDonnell said on Monday in a statement, adding that the way Nebraska allocates its five electoral votes has upheld that principle for decades.
